Either. It all depends on the severity of the head gasket leak.
Yes.
usually not....the engine will start, but will run rough and/or overheat
Bad thermostat, plugged radiator, blown head gasket in order of expense.
If the engine is run while the gasket is blown, the engine will overheat and eventually blow or seize up. If the gasket blew and engine was soon after turned off, there may be no further damage to the engine. Replacement of the gasket can get this engine in working condition.
This is a common symptom of a blown head gasket. Time to get it tested.Take Care,Greg

Blown Head Gasket or Bad Cylinder Head
it is possible for heat from combustion to cause an engine to overheat quickly depending on where the gasket is blown, but i would look for a lack of coolant circulation first. if your coolant is not getting out of the motor and into the radiator it will overheat very quickly.
yes Yes, It will causes it to overheat. It can also crack the heads. The way to know for sure if the head gasket is gone is if there is water in your oil. And yes it will overheat!! may want to check your intake gasket. This also causes water in you oil and can make one over heat.
A Cracked cylinder head, or engine block. Or a blown cylinder head gasket.
