No. You can look at the cylinder bores for damage or scoring by turning the motor over by hand but if there is no undue wear you shouldn't need to look further .
The only real problem is what damage the blown head gasket has caused.
For example only, if it has blown between the water and oil galleries then the vehicle has been running with water in the oil, degrading the oil and its lubricating values. Or if it has just blown out into the cylinder then you may have cooked the head . A crack test and warp check on the head would be in order before you retorque the head.
