You do not!
It could be that that is all that is needed, but you have to investigate 
if a warped head or block may be the cause.
When the head is removed, check that both the head and the block are 
absolutely true. Best to have both surfaces machined / skimmed as it is 
likely that the head has been removed and the head gasket replaced a 
number of times during the last 40/50 years, which makes warping of one 
or the other quite likely.
