the only reason i wasnt sure was i have had 2 cars blow hgs and they smoke like hell but still run with this though not much smoke (not enough to come out w/o opening the hood) but no start. anything else to watch for aside from the obvious warped / cracked head?

well i will call this a confirmation 1-4: 185 130 95 150. is there anything else i should replace or do while changing my hg other than intake/ exhaust/ valve cover gasket (and the several bolts i am inevitably going to snap), the timing belt water pump and coolant temp sensor are new. i have the new thermostat i just hadnt replaced it yet. also my plugs got soaked in rad fluid they are brand new will i still be able to use them? how about the gas in my tank if there was rad fluid going in is there a chance i sucked some in through my return line would there be enough to cause a problem later? anyways sorry for the book thanks for all the help thus far
