Will a car still drive with a blown head gasket and a crack head?

Sure it will drive. It will drive right along wearing out the rod and crank bearings. Destroying the piston rings and eating the metal off the cylinder walls, wearing out the lifters, and generally self destructing. As you can see, you should not even start this engine let alone drive it one mile. Have it repaired or you will be buying another engine.

Can be a defective plug wire, burnt valve, cracked head, or blown head gasket. Replace the spark plug wires. If you still have the miss, have a compression test run on all cylinders. Low compression on cylinder #4 indicates a burnt valve, cracked head, or blown head gasket.
