IIRC, head gasket failure is accompanied by two other symptoms: persistent overtemp/overheat condition owing to heat exchange between coolant and combustion chambers,and site-specific plug-fouling. I don't think a HG goes bad all at once, it usually breaches at one or two sites, allowing coolant into the nearest piston cylinder(s). You could do worse than to pull the plugs and inspect to see if one or more (in a row) are particularly fouled.
