Can replacing your head gasket cause the engine to burn oil later on?

There seems to be alot of conflicting info out there. My guess is that it won't unless you redo the head, raising its compression. In this instance, there was no coolant in the oil, or oil in the coolant- just exhaust gases...

unless you have other problems, changing a head gasket should improve oil usage, personally i prefer to change the valve seals, and clean up the surface of the heads everytime they are off....Can replacing your head gasket cause the engine to burn oil later on?
Most of the info is right, a new head on an old block could cause the rings to start to blow by causing oil burn, but take it from me, if the motor is that old, dropping another motor in would be my plan, you could be doing all that for nothing, head could be warped, or cracked, shave a head, and raise compression, new gaskets and seals, I'd think about a good used motor.
Only if you do it wrong, and allow oil into the cylinders through the new head gasket.





It would also be pretty easy to mix up the valves while you've got the head off, that could allow oil to leak through the valve seats.
If the engine was overheated, yes, the tension in the rings may have been compromised - otherwise, no, the head gasket replacement will merely put the engine back into the shape it was before the gasket failed.
Question is way too vague, I assume you have a warranty at a reputable shop, I'd get it back there asap.
