To tell if the head is cracked, you have to remove it from the car, so you will replace the head gasket, anyway. Take the head to a machine shop and have it magnafluxed to see if it's cracked.
The only way to tell for sure is to remove the head and look. You are going to have to remove the head in either case. Remove the head and take it to a machine shop and have it inspected for cracks and to see if it is warped.
