mine doesnt need doing but im considering doing it to uprate the headgasket. will it need skimming or is this only if a headgasket has blown?
will it be ok to just take the head off and swap?
cheers

Whats the point? If it's not broke don't fix it.
And, you won't need to skim the head, usually done when the gasket has gone or the engine has been hot as fuck.

I wouldn't. Serious waste of time. May aswell do it when it needs doing, not just for the sake of it.

Doing my cambelt and quite a few gaskets aswell at once, asked my bro (who was a vaux mechanic) and he said don't bother until it's broke, they last a long time
