when I rev up my engine the cap blows off the coolant overflow what do you think bad head?
 






I'd first guess a blown head gasket but a cracked head is certainly a possibility as well.
 






Head or head gasket, the gasket being my first guess. Do you have any oil in the coolant or does it smell like gas? You're putting a ton of stress on the cooling system, so I wouldn't run it anymore like that. I'd do a compression and leak down test on it to find the problem.
