Head gaskets do not warp, they blow. Heads warp. If you see white smoke from the exhaust, coolant in the oil, which will make it look milky, a white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap, & loss of coolant with no apparent leak, you more than likely have a blown head gasket, cracked or warped head, or both. The only way to find out is to remove the head. But before you do that have a compression test run.
