To check for a warped cylinder head, a straightedge and feeler gauge are commonly used. The straightedge is placed across the surface of the head, and any gaps between the straightedge and the head are measured with the feeler gauge to determine warpage. Additionally, a precision straight edge or a machinist's level can provide more accurate assessments. If significant warpage is detected, the head may require resurfacing or replacement.

Would it be better to replace a head gasket or put in a recon engine on a y reg fiesta zetec?
Bit of a tricky one ... It all depends on the condition of the cylinder head. If the cylinder head is warped then replacing the head gasket won't solve your problem. A warped cylinder head can be skimmed (if not too badly warped). If the cylinder head is badly warped then it would be much easier to replace the head than fit another engine.
