Don't see how it could be a head gasket. Pull head if you want to find out what's up but if it's a piston you have to pull the motor to fix it if it's fixable. Or you have to pull the motor to replace with a good used motor.
And if you've pulled the head first, it will be harder to pull the motor as the lifting lugs are attached to the head. You could I guess hang it back with a few head bolts just to use to lift with.
