How do you know the HG is OK, but from what you say the head needs to come
off!

Those are some inductors of head gasket problems, but you really need to
do more.

It seems you have eliminated everything likely other than the one you
don't want it to be. I sure looks like the head gasket. Do a compression
check

You either find someone with a compression gauge for a diesel or you buy
one and follow the instructions.

I suggest you may want to buy a shop or repair manual for your
transporter. It will have detailed instructions, trouble shooting guide and
most important in this case, the compression norms for your engine.

It could be normal. Diesels tend to do that. It could also mean a
injector timing issue.
