Hey Linda==It just has to be checked out. Ir varies as to how hot it actually got and looking at it is the only way to tell. GoodluckJoe
Could be a bad thermostat or dirty rad or heater core which would be better than what you mentioned.Good luck.
Also check to see if radiator fan is running when the engine is hot. My cars fan had a bad connection at the fan motor. One of he prongs broke off.

What does a broken head gasket mean?
This means that a gasket has been broken that keeps the head separate from the block. The engine will overheat easy or water will flow into the oil compartments in the engine. Either way, this needs to be fixed before the engine is used.
How is a blown head gasket caused?
A blown head gasket is usually caused by over filling the oil during an oil change, or just the opposite not having enough oil to compensate the pressure status, therefor causing exstreme overheating which in turn will cause many problems other than just a blown gasket. ie; engine locks up, overheats ,and then is all around just needs replacing. Once you've blown your engine you basically have hit bottom. Hope this helps. It can also be caused by detonation. Especially if you add turbo or supercharger aftermarket.
