Default Head gasket question

Have oil in my coolant... misfire on #7. Bad head gasket I believe. My question: If I do both head gaskets and change my oil and coolant, will that make everything ok again???

From what you say, it sounds like you have a blown head gasket, or worse. If you have coolant in the oil, then there are chances you will have issues with the bearings, but not for certain. Best bet is to change the head gaskets and see what you find. You could have broken a piston as this happens on cylinder 7 more than any other.
