Default Bent Rods? Blow Head Gasket?

So I went and bought this 1992 prelude si...and noticed that it was blowing white smoke outta the exhaust....But being dumb I ignored it and still drove it....And after a while it leaked out all of the oil and bent a rod i think? So now it knocks really hard....and still creates ALOT of white smoke as I'm driving....Would that be a head gasket thats blown? And then bent rods? Spun bearing? LMK!

I'm taking the engine out as we speak....are there any faqs or things I should watch out for when I take out my engine? I'm labeling all of the hoses and wires so that I know where they go...and I'm putting all the parts and their pieces in bags and labeling them as well....Oh and I noticed that there is Alot of oil on the tranny....looks like it is coming out of the head gasket....but I should have my engine out in the next few days....if anyone wants to help or knows of anything that was hard LMK
