Default uh oh ..head gasket?

Well I replaced the radiator and the car still ran hot. I replaced the thermostat today and I drove around the block and when I pulled into the garage white smoke/steam was pouring out of the tailpipe. It had never done that before today. Now it'll crank strong but won't start. Should I bother with a compression test or just pull the damn head? What do you guys think? What a bummer.
