From my experience of changing my head gasket 3 times.....

Looks more intimidating then it really is, nothing to be scared of changing.

Also, leave the pressure tester on the system cold and pump it upto 15 or 16 psi and leave it sit. A good clue is how fast the pressure drops.

Also, not extremely scientific, but pull all 8 plugs and check for water in the cylinders, I used a long screwdriver covered in masking tape on the end.

My $.02 anyway.......
