Default how to tell if a sleeve sunk

I'll be posting up pictures tomorrow but for now I'm just wondering, how can I tell if a sleeve sunk? I tried taking a feeler gauge to it and seeing if any of the sleeves seem to have sunk but honestly its too hard to tell. I am running a RS motorworks/machines open deck block ann I've never heard of their sleeves sinking but I am blowing headgaskets at idle. I'm running out of ideas as to what the problem could be, any help is appreciated.
