Default blown head gasket questions, need help

hi i have a 91 integra with a b18a1 motor, i also have a blown head gasket and possibly more . So i have coolant in the spark plugs, over heating, and liquid (probably coolant) spraying out from the blown head. i drove the car when it was over heating, really bad , so i was wondering, if there is anything else i have to worry about besides the head gasket, ie. warped block/head?? i really need help, need to start fixing the car fast.

use a "precision" straight edge and measure the deck of the block for straightness

Deffinitely could be a warped head but you'd want to have a machine shop check for it as previously stated with precesion instruments, it may need resurfaced/shaved down.
