Are you considering removing the head?? and replacing the head-gasket?! or are you considering doing tests to check for leaks?? Why?!?!

You can do the head gasket test by checking the pressure in all cylinders. You can buy pressure test kit for less than 100 dhs from Alico in shj.

Test all cylinders one by one and see if pressure varies by more than 20 psi in anyone then it could be head gasket is leaking.

Usual pressure should between 100 - 125 PSI depending on overall condition of engine and previous care taking.
