Why do I have a burnt valve on my car?

Can a blown head gasket cause a burnt valve?
Just remember, no method is foolproof. If the leak is small enough (whether blow-by, burnt valve, or head gasket), it can affect performance, but not truly give any real signs. It will, over time, rear its ugly head so you can see it though. Catching it early is far better than waiting until things get out of hand.
