and it has the common symptom for a bad cap. If you want to determine if head gasket is leaking, then you could: a)Pull the plugs and inspect for the wet plug (which would also missfire) and also look into cylinders for extra clean piston top. b)Check oil for chocolate milkshake looking oil. c)Attach a vacuum gauge and observe needle movements for leaking head gasket. Anyway, I strongly suspect just a bad cap... seen it before a few times.
