Head Gasket???

Double checking some symtoms to determine head gasket failure.
1985 SPG has some signs of leaking head gasket. I have recently had some early morning starting problems( the car will turn over, but won't start for several tries.) The car has never not started, but is frustrating. I read a post on the BB about checking air bubbles in the expansion tank. I would rev up the rpms and noticed a constant presence of air bubbles. If I din't rev, occasional air bubbles. I tried this with both the lid on and off. The oil and coolant looked clean I did not see any mixing. Dealer quoted $700 for the new HG. Resonable from what I've read, but are there any other steps or things to check before spending $$$.
I have already:
Changed plugs
Rotor/ wires/ fuel filter/ Ntc sensor trying to track down the rough start.
Thanks,
Kevin
