I have my head gasket off, I just need help to determine if it is blown and if my valves are bad?

Good evening.

Yes the gasket is leaking.

You need to send the head to a shop and have them check the valves. you cannot test them visually. the head also needs to be checked to see if it is warped as well.

why did you remove it?
