Will replacing a blown head gasket cause oil burning on Grand Am?

A blown head gasket can indeed cause oil burning in a Grand Am. When the head gasket fails, it creates a breach in the seal between the combustion chamber and the oil passages. This can allow oil to leak into the combustion chamber and be burned along with the air and fuel mixture. Depending on the severity of the head gasket failure, you may not see any visible oil smoke but an abnormal engine oil consumption. Replacing the blown head gasket will resolve the issue and eliminate the oil burning.
