Yes, it sure could. Your first priority is to repair the blown head gasket. As you have to remove the heads to accomplish this, you can at that time see how much damage was done. You may need a complete overhaul.

What is a compression tester used for and how is it constructed?
The most common use for a compression tester would be to check the compression in the cylinder of an engine. It will tell you whether there is a problem with your rings, blown head gasket, or perhaps a cracked cylinder head. Older compression testers use a diaphragm or spring for resistance to measure the pressure, but there may be newer ones that are constructed differently.

How can you tell if you have a blown head or a blown head gasket in a 87 cutlass ciera 2.5?
Check your cylinder pressure with a compression gauge. The gauge will hook up to your spark plug openings.

How do you know if it is a blown headgaskets?
There are several possible indications of a blown head gasket: If the head gasket is blown between adjacent cylinders there will be poor or no compression in either cylinder. Poor compression in any cylinder can be caused by a blown head gasket. That condition can also be caused by a burned valve or piston. Coolant in the crank case can be caused by a blown head gasket. Compression in the coolant can be caused by a blown head gasket. An engine with a blown head gasket usually loses performance and runs poorly or not at all.

Would a blown cylinder head gasket make a car blow blue smoke?
It can do..if the gasket is blown around an oil gallery or return it can be sucked in to the cylinder, but with compresion higher than the oil pressure its posable that it has worn rings or bore or excess guide clearance or all of them . Do a compression test is the most easy wasy...
Should you have low compression after a head gasket change?
No, quite the opposite- the idea of gaskets is to ensure that an engine gives HIGH compression. If your car has just had a cylinder head gasket change and you are STILL getting low compression, then this suggests that the problem lies with the cylinder head itself- it may be cracked. Unfortunately there's no effective repair for this, the only solution is to get a new cylinder head I'm afraid.
