And there normally isn't "damage" do the deck or head with a simple blown head gasket. The damage will show on the gasket itself.. thats the purpose of the gasket. However if you look at the pics, you can see different areas that show some burn/darkened areas where combustion may have been pushing past the circumference of the cylinder walls.

If there was pre-ignition or something more violent, then you'll see damage to the hard parts.
Ahh ok, My bro had a headgasket let go on his 1G and it took a small gouge out of the head from the gasket being pushed back.

Yes the water you see splashing and the pop you hear in the video he posted was when the frost plug popped out.

On the other hand, boost leak CHECKS are good! Do THAT every once in a while. :P
RIGHT! BOOST LEAK TESTS ARE GOOD! Not actual boost leaks. They are bad.
