You cannot determine this until you remove the heads. Either way the heads must be removed and the gasket replaced. After removing the head you need to have it inspected by a machine shop.

How do you tell if the head is cracked or you need a new head gasket?

How do you repair a blown head gasket or cracked head?

A blown gasket can be repaired by replacing the gasket...if you are talking about the head gasket, then you have to remove the cylinder head from the engine block and replace the gasket that is inbetween them. Cracked heads generally have to be replaced because they are made of aluminum which cannot be repaired permanently once it is cracked.
