Personally if I had 326K on mine and it needed at head gasket I'd be kicking it to the curb. But your love relationship with your car is your business!
But do your tests. A compression tester is cheap if you don't have one and is very handy. I always take my time diagnosing the problem which saves time in the long haul.
If you had a big coolant leak, running your water pump dry will kill it pretty quick I think.
