Pull all of the stuff that is in the way, pull the head, take it to a machine shop, have them plane the head, (while you're at it, have them do the valves too if there are very many miles) reassemble the engine making sure that you torque the head according to manufacturer specifications, put back all of the stuff that was in the way, then drive off. Seriously, if you haven't already done one with the help of an experienced mechanic, don't try it alone.

Why would a Ford 390 blow white steam and water from one side of the dual exhaust?
You possibley have a blown head gasket on the side that is blowing water and steam. 390 s are good solid blocks pull the head on that side and check carefuly to see if you can spot the bypassed gasket. If not a gasket a good idea to have the heads checked for cracks then the engine. Small steps. could be a blown head gasket on that side, or a bad intake gasket. The side you see white smoke from has a head gasket or cracked head problem. If sparkplug has water or rust on it you have located the cyl of question. Is it the Intake manifold or head gasket. Water runing into intake valve would be noticeable when you pull the intake manifold. You might hear knock when motor is hot, that would indicate steam knock from blown head gasket. Piston in question would be steam clean from antifreeze hard blast on ignition................. ........ do a compression test, a week cylinder could indicate not only a blown head gasket but also tell you what cylinder.

Should a mechanic be able to tell that a cylinder head gasket is about to blow especially when they have been told that the engine is running hot?
No. He can tell you if it is blown but not if it is about to blow. Clay is 100% right. Remember that overheating can be caused by other problems or not performing routine maintainance-- which in turn may cause the head gasket to fail AND all steps should be taken to inspect/repair the coolant system. The head gasket failing or head warpage may be the result of the cooling system not working properly.
