Well, you're too far into the disassembly for much diagnosis as to the cause.
Your best path is to continue the assembly and replace both head gaskets. Don't worry about the "clean" piston, they begin that way in a new engine.
You might try turning it over by hand without the heads. This would check if the engine isn't locked up.
