A blown head gasket will get water in the cylinders. Usually there will be some oil in the coolant when this happens too, so pull your radiator cap and look in there. Water in the cylinders is bad. The cylinder walls can corrode and wear out rings, and if the water gets past the rings, it will ruin all the bearings and stuff.
