If the head gasket has gone between the cylinders and is pressurising the cooling system then it it almost certain that the liners have slipped, there is no water jacket between the cylinders so the only way coolant can get into a cylinder is from between the liner and block. The only way to see this is with a pressure test at a machine shop. Unless it's really bad then you wont see it with the naked eye.
