Can you tow with a blown head gasket?

Can a radiator blow a hole in the head?
Radiator blew a hole, and i’m trying to figure out if there is head damage. There are bubbles coming out through the radiator. Even though there is a slow leak in the radiator, the coolant level is not dropping, so i’m wondering if the gas is leaking by the head gasket. Yes this was a blown head gasket.
Where does the coolant go after blowing the head gasket?
Coolant either leaks past the head gasket out of the engine or past the head gasket into the cylinder and combustion chamber. If you have an external leak you will notice coolant leaking from in between your engine block and the head. This usually will happen just below the exhaust manifold or the intake manifold.
Can a water pump replace a blown head gasket?
Then again, a water pump replacement might fix the problem, but only temporarily. Sooner or later, the head gasket could collapse — its weakness having been initiated during the overheat. Simply put, overheating can often be the gift that keeps on giving.

Can a blown head gasket cause an engine to fail?
For proper engine function, there must be an airtight seal between these two sections. Your head gasket ensures that seal is maintained, but after years of wear and use, gaskets can dry out, crack and fail.
