Is better don't skim becos if the work not done properly it may cause lot of problem. Unless you very sure the skimming is good.

oo, but if doesn't skim will it cause leaking or not ?

if ur head and cylinder block dont give any problem before, why will it leak? just spray a layer of copper spray over the metal head gasket, then install.

remember to use longer engine studs like ARP if your gasket is 1mm above.
