Well, before the car would start and it would smoke only when i would give it gas.. From inside the car it looked like a white or greyish smoke.

Re: How can you tell if your motor is blown?
the car never overheated. it would start right up but it would just smoke when i gave it gas. i decided not to try to drive it. when i tried to start it a few days later to move it., it wouldn't start at all because the battery had died. I found there was too much oil in it. so i drained the oil and made sure there was the right ammount. Then when we gave it battery it started for like half a second but then died., and has never started since.

you have a blown head gasket and a bend head
I had the same problem, smoke coming out of my exhaust while accelerating for 2 days maybe and the 3rd day my car didn't start
Your engine doesn't start probably because your head is full of water.
Anyway try to open the radiator's cap and then start the car if you saw water splashing on ur front bumper or the engine bay then its time to change the gasket and polish your head.

what language you speaking? but he has the right idea. pull your plugs and see if the are really white, if it is then you have a blown head gasket. was your oil milky when you looked at it?

Re: (dez4o8)
Running an engine with too much oil can mess things up pretty quick. How much extra are we talking? Do like the others said, pull the plugs and do a compression check. Make sure you pull the fuel pump relay so you're not dumping raw fuel in while you're doing it. If you've got good compression across all cylinders then put new plugs in it and see if it will start.
