When the coolant runs low the engine overheats and any item of carbon and carbonized
oil can burn and flake off in the combustion chamber on the piston or around the valves and cause clogging problems in these areas: 1. Spark plug clogged and not sparking well.
2. Valve is dirty on the seat and is burning or warping. 3. Catalytic converter is clogged
and the engine looses power at high revving.
Overheating engines also expand and warp, so the head gasket can be open and leaking fluids or oil into the engine, or gasses out of the engine causing low compression
skipping or roughness. Check with a mechanic and ask for a quick fix like revving the
engine with a good carbon cleaner additive, or even a fine spray of water can clean
the running engine enough that it will loose some of the carbon or glowing carbon
that may be causing dieseling . Heat can damage many fine tubes and spark plug
wires can melt and cause sparks in the dark when the engine is running in the dark.
The exhaust manifold can crack from heat, and sound bad. Now get this, the computer
can have a program to cause ruff engine running if the coolant sensor or temperature
tells it that something was wrong, you carefully clear the computer, see a mechanic.

Very possible. Also the head(s) may be cracked. They should have been checked for warpage and cracks when they were removed when the job was first done.
What would cause a coolant leak into my oil in a Saturn even though head gasket has been replaced and oil has been changed multiple times to remove coolant previously exhisting?
crack in engine block or head, so the coolant leaks through crack into oil. very common problems with engine to get cracks, maybe a design flaw or when you ran without coolant, it may overstress engine!

1995 lumina 3.1 ran hot low coolant light came on engine hot light came on Changed water pump thermostat low coolant light came on again bubbles pass threw coolant reserve tank why?
When it ran low on coolant, the head overheated and warped. Now you have hot exhaust gasses venting directly into the engine's coolant system through the damaged head gasket that gave up when the head warped. You'll need to have the head resurfaced. That means, pulling the head(s) and everthing that is in the way. If there are very many miles, you may as well do the valves and guides while you've got the head(s) off.
