Throw it away, I bought a 1988 Toyota 4 Runner with a 3.0 ran great, So the seller told me heard they have head gasket issues ? I just wanted the body. I scraped the rest ! Filled my tank bought a case of beer and went to the hills. Best motor I almost never owned.
besides the exhaust and HG issue, they are not that horrible of an engine. and saying "get rid of it and junk it" doesnt solve his issue.
Sounds like a timing issue though
