I understand your frustration but your title is misleading. You don't even know the problem yet but you are trashing vortec heads.
It may be the heads but still what caused the problem. Could be a lot of things including the head gasket. Even if it is the heads it doesn't mean all vortecs are bad, just that the ones you have are bad.
Maybe you should check the compression on that cylinder.
How much h lift does the cam have?
