How can you tell if you've got a blow head gasket or busted rings/piston ?
as a sign of good faith here is some help. do a compression test (make sure tb is held at WOT) then put a couple of caps full of oil into each cylinder and test again. if the pressure jumps up a good amount it the rings. if not its the hg.

good luck my friend
