Default Pushed out a head gasket today

I got a bit overzealous with the nitrous today and the nitrous gods ate some electrodes and pushed out a head gasket.

There's a bit of anti freeze that found it's way into the number #2 cylinder, confirmed by a wet plug and pulling the intake (green puddles on the intake valve).

How much of a "panic mode" should I be in to get it apart and cleaned up.

Well my friend with a 94 LT1 blew a head gasket and it ended up costing about $15,000....he did get it stroked to a 383 and made the block virtually bullitproof but sometimes a blown head gasket will do that to ya...

-but yea take the head off, get the coolant out of there get a new head gasket and get your car running again
