Water is not flowing through your engine. Your thermostat is shot. It regulates the flow of cooling water from the radiator to your block. And on the way, the temp sensor as well.
Try replacing the thermostat first before changing head gasket. NG900 and OG9-3 are notorious for head bolt failure. Try retorquing the head before changing the gasket. If you do replace the head gasket, machine (aka plane) the head. If you are looking into modding your car, this is the time to deck the head, port and polish the intake and exhaust ports and go for that 3-angle valve job. In all cases make sure you use the copper based gasket sealant.
