I don't know it isn't the issue, I just said I doubt it is. Really, my inclination was leaning towards warpage there, I just wanted to get feedback to see if anyone had any other ideas. I figured I would have at least seen some sort of indicator from the old head gasket that the head was warped from before I pulled it, but I suppose I wouldn't necessarily.

Also, if the rad cap was the culprit, I'd be losing coolant and I'm not. Still have an overflow reservoir and it's not bubbling over or even coming close.
