No. You can warp the heads making your repair costs triple. You can not only warp the heads you can totally destroy the engine. Coolant mixes with the oil when a head gasket is blown. This causes serious engine wear in a short period of time. Never run an engine with a blown head gasket.
What else can I help you with?
How can i tell if the cylinder head needs skimming on a fiat punto if the gasket has blown?
If your gasket has blown and overheating occured then skimming will almost certainly be needed. Send it for testing and skimming better to be safe than sorry.
Is it safe to drive a vehicle that has antifreeze mixing with oil?
NO NO NO you can i guess but it will ruin your engine. You either have a cracked block or blown head gasket i would guess. Moisture in the engine will destroy it. In addition to a headgasket or cracked block (unlikely), would be cracked cylinder head, intake manifold gasket or manifold. What kind of car, what size engine? 1999 CADILLAC DEVILLE
Is it safe to replace your own head gasket?
It is safe to repair and replace your own head gasket, but it is a very tricky operation and you may not have success unless you have experience with cars.
Interested in buying a 90 camero and the owner said the head gasket was blown and that it could be repaired easily could you tell me what that would cost and is it worth buying?
It is not an easy repair for the novice and somewhat expensive if you have it done. Basically the top of the motor has to be removed. The dis-assembly and re-assembly are where the time is involved. Replacing the actual gasket is easy. Figure about 1000 to be safe

Is it a good idea to re-torque head bolts on an old engine?
Re-torquing head bolts can prevent head gasket failure. Some manufacturers have issued technical service bulletins describing the procedure. (See Saab example here: http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/members/gallery.html?memberID=112&do=show&id=369 ) Reducing the tension on bolts one at a time (But not all the way.), then tightening in sequence is often done, particularly on engines with aluminum heads. Once the gasket has failed re-torquing is less likely to stop the leak. No. Torque specs are calculated on a new head gasket. If you are experiencing a leak in a head gasket, you would be safe to assume that the gasket has already burned a hole in the gasket.

Is it safe to drive vehicle when there is oil in antifreeze reserve and Saturn ION?
If there is motor oil in the antifreeze reservoir there is a good chance there is also antifreeze in the motor oil. This condition is probably the result of a bad head gasket or a cracked head. Antifreeze mixing with motor oil is a recipe for disaster for the engine. Have a trusted mechanic diagnose the situation soon as possible to hopefully avoid even more costly repairs.
