just to confirm if my head gasket is gone

many thanks for reading.
 
Have you got a compression tester? if so, Take out all the spark plugs, and put the tester on each cylinder in turn (this goes in the spark plug hole) Spin the engine 4 or 5 times and note the reading, Do this on all the cylinders. The readings should be more or less the same if gasket is good. Be self evident if gasket blown
