You need to do it in several different directions and also if
you can put a feeler gage under one end while holding the middle
down that is just as bad - bowed out rather than in.

Putting the straightedge diagonally will help tell if the head
is twisted.

0.002" is a good feeler gage to start with. Normally if a head
is warped no more than 2 thou in a 6" span you can pull it straight
with the headbolts (using a new headgasket).
