Leak down test if you have a compressor would be another thing. Also check the torque of the head bolts, may give you an idea if they are loose. To be honest its only going to take a couple of hours to get the head off & you probably need to do that anyway so just get on with it.

Obviously you are joking or never driven hard, once on a fast sweeping up hill dual carriageway i ripped the anti roll bar mount off of the chassis on another highly tuned classic, never felt something so catastrophically wrong or caused so much grief in my life, luckily it was late at night & no one in the other lane or i would have wiped them out.
