You can't beat and nothing can replace that big fat smile on yer face though when you're thrown back in you're seat and all hell break's loose under the bonnet.
It's like a drug addiction only more expensive

in my experience head pressure testing can show a problem but some cracks will only leak when the head is hot and the crack expands.

basic answer is as above
pressure testing will only show an obvious problem which you could see with your own eyes
