I am going to say no, but I am not a etester guy…  
are you bringing a 24 for the guy doing it?

Have you seen an etest done?

They have to hold the car at partial throttle for at least a minute, if white smoke is coming out the back, unless you know the tester, he will most likely fail you right then.

Who knows what kind of messed up readings you’d get.

… also, you shouldn’t be driving with a blown headgasket anyways … the coolant in the oil will thin it out and start damaging seals and bearings, you’ll overheat and possibly do some more damage too.
