I think, if it was me and the head gasket was gone, I'd likely just get a known good engine to drop in. How handy are you with the spanners?

Just in the radiator wiped it all out yesterday and there is non there today.

Probably handy enough but FAR to lazy and no garage or anything.

Hmm, if it's not coming back, it might just be from sitting for a bit.

Get a coolant flush done and keep an eye on it :)
