I could be miss-lead, but I've read how great the leak-down-test was at finding these different problems on this very BB.
I'll try to find the thread again, but the basics are:
With the leak-down-tester hooked up. Watching the gauge drop will only tell you that there is a problem somewhere. However you can check for several other things. If the coolant is bubbling in the reservoir, then the head gasket is faulty into a coolant port. If air is 'hissing' around the block, then the head gasket is faulty across the block. And if there is air 'hissing' from the oil re-fill tube, then rings are suspect.
Does anyone have actual experience checking this? Maybe you are right and I should just dive into the gasket job and see what else I find while there. I just dread fixing the head gasket and then having to tear it down again for rings.
