I dont know what the heater had to do with the head gasket blowing. As far as the water in the oil and the oil in the coolent. You need to drain both right away , replace the oil filter and replace the oil not the coolent. Start the engine and get the oil pressure up and let the engine fast idle for a couple of mins. like 2 max . shut her down and drain the oil and replace the filter . If it was my engine I would do it again . this should rid the coolent from the crankcase , at least the greatest percentage. Pull the head and have it checked and make sure it is not warped. When you get it back together flush out the cooling systime with some cooling systime flush.
