Yes, it can if the head gasket is blown at that location. Symptoms of a blown head gasket are, white smoke from the exhaust especially at start up. Loss of coolant with no apparent leak. Over full oil level. Engine overheating. A white foamy substance on the underside of the oil fill cap. Engine miss.

Does low compression and engine won't start mean a blown head gasket on a car that overheated?
If it was a head gasket then the compresion would be low in the affected cylinders low compresion as a result of wear wil make the car hard to start and overheating can also lead to electrical problems, Besides blowing a head gasket, overheating can also cause a cylinder head ro crack. Low compression and engine not starting or hard to start are symptoms. As mentioned above, do not discard the possibility of electrical problems due to overheating. However, the prime suspects are blown head gasket and/or cracked cylinder head.
What should you do if your 1998 Mirage gets fire on two cylinders but not on the other two?
Check the spark plug wires first for any wear or tear or cracks and fractures in the wire itself, if so relplace and try again. if not also check your plugs make sure they are gapped to the proper specifications for your vehicle then if not you can chaeck your distributor cap and rotor then if that's not the problem you may need to check your head gasket to see if the head is allowing water to get in the two cylinders that aren't firng.

Why won't your 1992 Chevy Astro van restart after overheating?
Engine overheating can be very expensive.Unfortunately heads, engine blocks and other large, massive components don't like to be overheated, and they often warp. When a head warps it does not make even contact with the head gasket, resulting in head gasket failure. Run a compression test on the engine. If you find low compression on any two adjacent cylinders the head is warped.
How to repair a blown head gasket?
There's only one way to repair a blown head gasket and that is to replace the gasket. You must also check to make sure that the head is not cracked or warped If it is the head will either have to be replaced or machined depending on the severity of the damage.
What would cause a 2004 caravan to go through gallons of antifreeze van has many miles and the EGR valve needs to be replaced?
A leak. Or a blown head gasket. Or a crack in the block. The EGR has nothing to do with it. Has the engine ever gotten hot? This often warps the head and lets the head gasket blow. Coolant gets into the cylinders and goes out the tailpipe as steam.A garage with a gas analyser can check for exhaust in the coolant - proving the head gasket leaks. Head gaskets are a big deal, so make sure to rule out any other cheap to fix leak.
