1988 Festiva L head gasket fix

If you are really worried run a compression test. All cylinders within 15% high to low no worries.1 or 2 real low get a fitting to blow compressed air into the offending cylinders rotate and lock the engine so that both valve are closed on the cylinder you are testing,blow in compressed air if air is escaping anywhere, out the exaust,through the intake, through the oil filler or bubbles in the radiator,let us know so we can direct you further.

How do I go about checking that?

I noticed a couple of minor issues in your video. I think the throttle cable is supposed to route over the intake air tube - makes less bends and a little farther away from the exhaust heat. You have your rocker shaft springs pinched between the pedestal and the shaft. They should be from the side of the pedestal to the rocker. Leaving that space may allow oil intended for the rockers to find another path.
