Can you drive with blown head gasket?
Not very far. If it's only the head gasket your engine should still run but driving it is a very bad idea. with a blown head gasket the coolant channels wont be sealed and you'll lose it all. without coolant the engine would overheat in a matter of minutes.

What signs are there for a blown valve gasket?
Valves have seals instead of gaskets and if one was bad you would have oil on the spark plug for that cylinder if you were to take it out and inspect it. A bad valve cover gasket would leak oil on the outside of the engine. a bad head gasket would put oil and/or pressure into the coolant system, coolant into the combustion chamber causing white smoke, or coolant into the oil. signs of a blown head gasket can be:- coolant leaking outside of engine from head/block area,coolant in engine oil, oil in radiator,over heating of engine.loss of pwer.loss of coolant from coolant resevoir, smell of coolant while driving, and not being able to tell where it is coming from

Had a heater core replaced but i am still losing all your antifreeze what else could this be?
If you are loosing coolant with no apparent leaks, then you may have a blown head gasket. This is very serious and will in time ruin your engine. If you have white exhaust smoke with a sweet smell, that is a good sign of blown gasket. Also bubbles at the radiator with the cap off, is a sign. Have this looked at ASAP.
If a car has oil in water and water in oil but is not overheating or loosing water out of coolant system is this still the head gasket?
It could still be the head gasket.
Still overheating 1991 escort gt after change radiator thermostat hoses fan switch and coolant Any idea?
You should the head gasket. If you go to Autozone, they have a tool that can check for exhaust gas in the coolant which may tell you if you have blown head gasket. Also, check your oil to see if it is milky or if you are blowing white smoke from the exhaust pipes. HTH

You have blown a head gasket or cracked the block you should only add coolant while its still running to prevent this.
