I say no to the head gasket. There are no numbers drastically lower than others. I would do a cooling system pressure test, and a cylinder stand up test with air pressure. Also, fill your coolant all the way to the top of the filler neck, just use water, and run the engine. Look for bubbles coming out of the neck in a regular pattern.
