Steel rule on the edge, hold it up to the light, look for gaps.

Get it skimmed anyway to be safe, not worth messing about hoping that it's not

Would I be better to just lob the spare on - It came from a sound engine??

What about using a G60 metal head gasket aswell...........dont think its much more expensive!!
