Sounds like it had a fuel delivery problem that has now turned into a blown head gasket. Probably ran it lean one too many times.

I would do a compression/leak down test before I started tearing things apart.

+1 compression/ leak down test for sure. Then start checking things like timing, fuel pressure, etc to see why it was runnning like shit in the first place.
