Your coolant system should pressurize to 13lbs with the cap on. Any white smoke?

if you think it's a headgasket problem do a compression test and see if you have a even pressure accross the board, if there's a problem then do a Leak Down Test to find the problem.

You can check the cap but you'll need a pump and a adaptor to mount the cap on and check it to make sure it vents at the specified PSI on the cap!
