Default Uhm... my BABY is broke...i think

I discoverd today that my radiator had a crack in it. I filled up the coolant and went to the store to get patch materials. On the way there some kid rolled up next to me...in a moded SUNFIRE hehehehe He floored and... I said what the heck... I punched it and my car...bogged... and then it kicked in..and I made quick work of him... but I was worried... I picked up the stuff I needed... on the way back my car was running LIKE SHIT! Little power... it would idle well but when I gave it more throttle.. it would bog real bad... wouldnt get out of 3K RPMs... I was like...is my engine blown... I didnt see any smoke or anyhting like that... no leaking fluids... it was running great just an hour before... whats going on... the car is cooling right now... then Ill go out to see WTF is wrong...

OK IT IS BROKE! I took out my spark plugs hoping it was something like a bad wire... water fell off of my plug... I looked inside and there was water on top of my piston. CHRIS!!!!!!! HELP!!!! MY ISH IS FUGGED UP! I am guessing it is my head gasket... and I never did one on a car before...

lol..we will be on our way tomorrow, hopefully someone will have a gasket local. I was going to also suggest to do the timing belt/water pump, unless that was redone when the engine went in the car?
