Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.
It sounds like the head gasket. The symptoms you described really seem to indicate it.
Here is a link that describes how to test for a bad head gasket:
https://www.2carpros.com/articles/head-gasket-blown-test
If you determine the head gasket is bad, here are the directions for cylinder head removal and replacement The attached pictures correlate with these directions and timing is included.
Cylinder Head, Removing and Installing
Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required
Wrench - Pin Type (3212)
Crankshaft Socket (T40058)
Crankshaft Locking Pin (T40069)

Removing
The engine is installed.
The following information describes how to remove both cylinder heads at the same time.
If only one cylinder head will be removed, follow the applicable instructions in the following description.
ATTENTION!
There is a risk of injury because the fuel is under very high pressure.
Reduce the fuel pressure down to residual pressure before opening high pressure area of the fuel injection system.
- Reduce the fuel pressure in the high pressure area. Refer to => [ Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System ] See: Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Technician Safety Information > Before Opening High Pressure Fuel Injection System.

Risk of damaging cylinder block.
There must be no oil or coolant in the blind holes for the cylinder head bolts in the cylinder block.
Risk of cylinder head seal leaking.
Carefully remove all grinding and sanding residue.
Only unpack new cylinder head gasket immediately prior to installation.
To prevent cylinder head seal silicone layer and recessed area from being damaged, always handle seal extremely carefully.
Risk of damaging open valves.
If a replacement cylinder is installed, only remove plastic base right before cylinder head is installed to protect open valves.

To ensure valves do not strike pistons when starting, carefully rotate engine at least two full revolutions.
Replace the bolts which are being tightened with an additional turn.
Replace self-locking nuts, sealing rings, seals and O-rings.
Note different sealant for cylinder head sealing surfaces and bolts.
If a replacement cylinder is installed, the contact surfaces between the hydraulic adjusting elements, roller rocker levers and cam running surfaces must be lubricated before installing the cylinder head cover.
Secure all hose connections with hose clamps of the same type as those equipped by the factory. Refer to the Parts Catalog.
Change the coolant and engine oil whenever replacing the cylinder head or cylinder head seal.
