What gasket did you blow? If you blew the head gasket, then you might have done some damage to the engine cuz it takes a lot to blow the head gaskets in these cars.

Head gaskets are more unlikely than being struck by lightning. However it's a gasket and it can go. I'd like more info behind why you changed the HG to better understand if the car was possibly misdiagnosed.
An NA motor such as yours ....you do have the aluminum UIM right?

i was told that head gasket was blown because of the engine was hydrolock but like i had read lots of info once i removed everything i dint see no problem with the head gasket so it was probrobly the LIM so i replace every gasket i removed i now it smoking tru the exhaust..

Nope i dont have the UIM aluminum I bought the whole kit from autozone the felpro one the one that comes with every gasket.

If your using the black plastic UIM...instead of the Aluminum UIM you removed...then that might be your issue. Sounds to me like you didn't get the LIM gaskets sealed correctly...and its dumping coolant into the motor...and burning white smoke out the exhaust.
Smoke color...
Blue = Oil
White = Coolant
Black = Gas

Maybe run to a junkyard and swap dash's...granted you'll have to open it up to change it to match your mileage...

If the engine ingested coolant while running at one time,and then repaired, then there will be residule coolant in the exhaust system that needs to get heated up and evaperated and blown out. Driving the car is the only way to get it out. How long it take depends on how much water went thouth the engine, and it will either be white, or invisible if its water.
