Head skimming

Is it necessary to have the heads skimmed when having a rebuild for big end failure?
I just want to double check as i'm getting conflicting info.

From: Leeds - It was 562.4bhp@28psi on Optimax, How much closer to 600 with race fuel and a bigger turbo?

No,

Only skim the heads if the surface is damaged, or if they arent flat.

head skimming will also require a strip and reassembly of the heads. If they are clean and free from defects, then they should be fine.
