Big Problem w/ coolant loss and engine rough!!

Have an 03 - thermostat stuck shut, coolant bypass valve blew, engine decided to dump oil into the coolant.
cleaned repaired, now the engine shows a white plug #3 - tightened the head bolt between 3,4 on the front (small coolant hole area on the metal gasket) and now it's running rough like it's not firing on that cylinder when the overflow tank is pressured, but steaming (loosing air that smells like gas) -
SO it seems that the head gasket has been damaged and when the cap is on the tank, it blows water into #3, when removed, it runs good but of course boils over...
Remove and replace the head bolts won't work to keep the head on will it -
metal gasket right? Base model - 120k -
About to take the head off to replace that gasket unless there's something I missed -
Swedeman?
