3.0 with a...wait for it...blown head gasket!

So, it started running rough when I started it up warm yesterday, then at my parents it didn't wanna start at all, acted like it was hydrolocked or somethin. So, pulled #6 plug, no coolant in the cylinder, thought,"weird." So I check the oil, no coolant mixing in there...but the radiator's down from 6 miles of driving or so. I start to pull all the plugs, but I stopped at #1, it had coolant in it. Quite strange, it went 25,000 miles since the last head gasket job, I'm wondering now if it was the Felpro gaskets. Has anyone else had a similar problem with Felpro's? No head gasket history that I know of, either, the last gasket change was for another reason.

Any ideas guys?

Bump. Anybody? I got a line on a 3.4 for $1000, so I'll prolly go that route no matter what.
