Assuming there's just a hint of seriousness in your question, If one side of the motor fails it's pressure test then that side's head will be jerked, head gasket thoroughly inspected for witness leak marks and said head pressure tested. If the head's fine then I'll have to pressure test that side of the short block. If the block leaks then I'm afraid it's time for a full engine tear-down (not that I'm too far from that already) I'll send my bare block out to get pregnant with the intake too.
In all seriousness I'm going to test each side to 20-30 psi and let it sit, then watch my pressure gauge and wait. Perfectly sealed the head/block should hold pressure for some time, without dropping pressure.
