If your gasket has blown and overheating occured then skimming will almost certainly be needed. Send it for testing and skimming better to be safe than sorry.

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.

Did you perhaps not have enough antifreeze in the system during a cold spell, allowing the coolant to freeze, expand and crack the block?
