Need to use a compression tester - screwed into the holes of the REMOVED spark plugs. Then get a Haynes manual for the pressure values for your car.
a good indication that you need to do that is if you have white smoke coming from the exhaust, or if your oil looks milky.
white smoke is caused by antifreeze leaking through the head gasket into the cylinder. when it burns it makes white smoke. if your oil looks milky it is because it has coolant in it.

Looking at the head gasket how do i know it is blown?
You may not see anything on the gasket. Usually a head gasket "blows" because of overheating that causes the head to warp. A gasket can be bad but there should be a visable break very often in the ring around the cylinder.
How do you know if it is a blown headgaskets?
There are several possible indications of a blown head gasket: If the head gasket is blown between adjacent cylinders there will be poor or no compression in either cylinder. Poor compression in any cylinder can be caused by a blown head gasket. That condition can also be caused by a burned valve or piston. Coolant in the crank case can be caused by a blown head gasket. Compression in the coolant can be caused by a blown head gasket. An engine with a blown head gasket usually loses performance and runs poorly or not at all.

How do you know head gasket is blown?
I usually hook up a pressure tester to the radiator for about 20 minutes or so...pull the spark plugs out then crank over the motor. If the head gasket is blown then antifreeze will usually have gotten into the cylinder that has the blown section of the head gasket. When you crank over the engine then antifreeze will squirt out of the cylinder with the antifreeze in it. Also smell the exhaust.. can you smell antifreeze in the exhaust. Is there white smoke coming out of the tailpipe ? That is also a sign of a bad head gasket. Finally. Does the car overheat after a short period of driving ? Yet another sign of a bad head gasket.

How do you know when a head gasket is cracked?
you will either see coolant around where the head sits on the block,or,white smoke coming out of the tailpipe. at that point coolant will be getting past the head gasket and leak into the cylinder or cylinders. also check your spark plugs and do a test to check for exhaust gases coming out of your radiator.
