Assuming the steam is not condensation which is perfectly normal, then as said it indicates water is entering the combustion chambers, it is not uncommon for the cylinder head to crack inside so this could be one cause another a HG. Take all plugs out and look at them they should be like a chocolate brown colour, if one of them is perfectly clean this shows the plug is effectivly being steam cleaned by that combustion chamber by water ingress.
