While the commercial pilot was maneuvering to begin an agricultural application flight, smoke from the engine entered the cockpit, followed by the engine experiencing a partial loss of power. The pilot performed a forced landing, and during the landing roll, the airplane nosed over. An examination of the engine revealed that three of the cylinders exhaust valves were stuck and had 0-to-low compression values.
