Blown Head Gasket repair w/pics

Car has been running fine. I just ordered a new O2 ($170.60 retail, with my discount I paid $127) and ECT (73.30 retail, my price $59.31).

I've been having cold start problems ever since the first day I owned the car 2 years ago. On only cold start (car sitting over 12 hours) it would start good but idle like a piece of crap and stumble at like 400rpm, sometimes stalling, sometimes not. But it would always start and idle perfect on the second try. On warm start up it was perfect also. So I thought I'd replace the cold start injector time switch (I ohm tested my stock one and at 50F degrees ambient temperature it measured 37.5 ohms, well within spec)......$150 from the dealer!!!!!!!! My price would be $135, but still!!!!! That is unbelievable!!!!
