how would it blow a head gasket after cleening it out like that?

it may be a coincidence but generally white smoke means water in the oil , caused usually by a blown head gasket,

This sounds totally incidental. White smoke..especially constant means a cracked head. Check the coolant level...antifreeze or water will burn white out the tailpipe when you have a cracked head. Normally they crack between the valves and the coolant gets into the cylinder and goes out the exhaust.

Motors are electric, engines are gasoline powered.
I think you meant THE ENGINE!
Yes, blown head gasket. Lucky to get 125k on a PLYMOUTH!

Water in the oil , a cracked block.
