In a heavy duty engine one would look for blue smoke comming out of the exhaust pipe on trucks without a diesel particulate filter. another sign would be excessive blow-by causing the engine to run hotter than before. low power and low engine oil level could also be tell tale signs. but the biggest giveaway is if your oil sample comes back showing excessive chromium and iron in the oil.

Can you use just umbrella seal on intake and exhaust valves instead of o ring type?
yes, you can use the umbrella seals. I just replaced my umbrella seals on my valves with new ones. My head gasket kit came with the o-ring seals though, I heard the umbrella seals were more preferred. I haven't had a issue since I replaced them.
