If you haven't done this, I would try a new Thermostat first I had the same problem and it was a clogged heater core , Try having it flushed out

What is the difference between a cracked block and a blown head gasket?
A cracked block means that the engine itself is cracked. A blown head-gasket means that the gasket between the engine and the head has blown. Either can be caused by overheating the engine. When an engine overheats the head can warp causing the head-gasket to give out. In some engines the heat cracks the block. If the block is cracked, it's over. If the head-gasket is blown you can always machine the head surface and put it all back together.

Does the heater have anything to do with a blown head gasket on a 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette?
The heater generates heat by blowing air over a small radiator type device (heater core) under your dashboard. The device runs hot coolant through it continuously. If you have a blown head gasket, your coolant is being evaporated trough the firing chambers and tailpipe. When the coolant level is low due to evaporation, there is no water to flow through the heater core. Keep in mind if you are not certain that this is a blown head gasket, these models were notorious for a defective lower manifold gasket leak that caused it to lose coolant the same way a head gasket would.
