I would remove and check the thermostat first which might have failed before suspecting the head gasket.

Check the oil filler cap for emulsification on it. (or called mayonnaising as that's what it looks like). If you have, that's a good indication of a blown headgasket.

Might be water pump in which case do the cam-belt while you're at it.
