RE: engine issue
I would check on the pistons and see if the valves are bent... or if the pistons have marks from valves hitting them.

RE: engine issue
A cracked block however could be a reason for a blown head gasket...
But if it was because it wasnt timed right you prolly dont have to worry about that..
