Default Coolant in oil after head gasket blown.. Any thoughts on main cause?

Hi .. I have the dreaded head gasket blown at 56k miles on my 2004 Rover 75 1.8 petrol engine. I'm about to take the head off and check the liner height as recommended on the site here before buying the full kit to change everything. My question is that all the coolant has gone into the engine and formed a thick coffee solution in the sump. The rad and water hoses are empty. Doe this point to any particular part failing..? Other than the head gasket itself.. Obviously I will be changing the water pump, thermostat plus the cambelt and shall check the head and inlet manifold for any distortion.
I would welcome any thoughts and comments.. Many thanks... Mike
