There are other symptoms that indicate that a head gasket and resurface are needed. one is if the radiator resivour is getting bubbles in it from the overflow hose from the radiator. You won't have any water in the oil, and may not have in oil in the water either, and often a compression test shows everyone ok. if you have the equipment to do a leak down test you may discover a problem, but most don't have it.
Also, if you have any water hard mineral deposit stains between the turbo and the exhaust manifold, or have been adding water, or if the plugs look different from one another, or if you do a compression test and one or more of the cylinders is much different than the others this could indicate an issue too.
Getting water in the lower end will cause larger issues so take a good hard look and make sure.
