how would compression or leakdown detect head/block warpage?
assuming the block and head warp together, wouldn't there still be a seal to hold compression and prevent leak?

other thing to check is the ph level in the coolant, which will indicate is there oil present in the system. after that you can do a compression hold test on the coolant system, 1.1 bar of pressure for 10 minute, if the headgasket leaks you know there's something wrong with the car.(again, assuming the damage is sizeable to be deteced)
