Check where the heads meet the block for signs of leakage, they only have to get hot once for the headgaskets to start leaking.
Will probably find more things as I strip this one I bought for parts, almost mint, but had been cooked. This one had bad signs of corrosion in the cooling system, a split in the bottom hose and a faulty vacuum advance, all contributed to it overheating. At 135,000km, it has signs of at least the inlet being removed before, so may have had head gaskets done once already.
