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.

How do you tell if a motor is blown?
Your answers will vary on this, however I do not consider a motor "blown" unless it has a hole in it caused by an explosion or internal malfunction such as a rod thrown through the engine block, or if it has over heated ( extreamly ) and warped the engine. if the engine is not fixable I say its blown. Some others will call it blown if just the headgaskets are blown or maybe if the engine jumped timing. These are fixable and even if an engine piston rod is broke but has not injured the block it also can be fixed. each Mechanic has their own opinion on what is called blown, some will call it blown just because they don't want to work on that model. Get a second opinion always !

Why does my 1999 Oldsmobile Alero over heat?
As with any car, low coolant will cause this car to overheat. Common areas of coolant lose are the water pump or intake manifold gaskets. If the coolant is full, then another common problem is blown headgaskets- especially the rear head. A blown headgasket introduced compression into the cooling system causing air pocket / bubbles. This will cause an overheat.- TechJK -----------------------------------------------------------
