geez that caps hurts my eyes. You probably popped the headgasket because of a bad tune. D series heads will lift easy if the tune is off. Just replace it with another stock headgaskets, use some arp studs, and get it tuned.

they have them for a pretty good price, if you look in the sponsors market there is a code for free shipping, or you can use the red search button up here.
