Or do you mean, how do you know if you have a bad one in a motor now? Should be able to hear it. Otherwise, it could show symptoms of power loss, heat, smoke/exhaust coming from somewhere other than the outlet of the muffler, hard starting, leaking oil. These are all symptoms of a leaking head gasket.
To everyone else, thank you for the kind words. I enjoy writing these, but they do take a lot of time. Mostly, to take or find pics, label them, put arrows on, and get them in order. I was going to include more info in this one, but it took over an hour and a half to put together the way it was, so now I still have a topic for next time.
