your pictures suggest it's a V8, Sounds to me like either head gasket(s) or a slipped liner as you have all the classic symptoms of this, take out the spark plugs and compare them, see if they're all the same colour. Do this after a run to get the engine hot, let it cool then take the plugs out and check, don't do it after a short start up from cold otherwise they'll all be black and give you a false "reading"
All the plugs should be a light tan sort of colour on the electrodes, if any look like they've been "cleaned" or "washed" then that will suggest a head/block fault.
