do I have a blown head gasket

Ok I took my valve covers off to check my lash and found some milk. the radiator was about 2 Qts low. I drained the oil and found no signs of water in the oil. I also took the intake manifold off and again no signs of water in the oil. I have a 383 stroker with a 292 cam and vortec blower, with a water meth injs. could the water meth system have any thing to do with what I found. help

Sounds like your meth injection system, those suckers tend to create cold spots near the intake which would promote condensation in the valve covers, though the radiator being low would suggest headgasket, keep the radiator full (bleed make sure it doesnt go low again) do a pressure check on the cooling system and if it turns out ok then see if you have any driveability issues, if not drive it about a week then check the radiator again. If its low you probably do have a headgasket issue if not then its probably just the alky.
