Default headgasket gone

hi

Wasnt a good day yesterday went to noble motorsport in derbyshire for a rolling road setup got good power 177.9 bhp and 183.5 lbft. Then the headgasket decided to fail 3 mile down the m1 motorway so i drove it 2 mile on 3 clyinders to a sevice station.

My point is will it do any damage to the pistons?
