overheating cause blow head gasket -

but for now check your T-Stat, coolant, etc...make sure your water pump is working. If you have air pockets in your cooling system -- yep it will cause over heat and blow your head gasket...even crack your Head or Block....

I had this nightmare - end up replacing the engine.
