I think it doesn't matter cause you are determined to rebuild the engine.
There is no point to a compression test if you don't at least check the head gasket. It's a common thing that gives trouble. It only takes a little while and gives a chance to scrape the carbon and inspect the valves and cylinder.
But it's your machine so do what you see fit.

Well, I wouldn't say 'determined' lol. You may well be right about the HG, but at the same time, there is a significant amount of blowby jetting out of the vent on the side of the engine, so that indicates that for one reason or another, combustion gasses are getting into the crankcase, most likely more than there should be, and it does smoke a bit. So odds are it needs more than just a HG.
