Ok so long story short I bottomed out,bent my rad support, fan was hitting rad until it blew up. Car over heated until it turn off, changed the rad car ran fine no over heating. About 3 days later I drove the car to work and then came home to go to school. Car started shaking and seemed like it was going to die but didn't it struggled to idle ( was idling about 500rpm) so I thought ok maybe tough start up so I drove it anyway about 5 blocks down I notice white smoke sooner became blueish tint smoke start blowing out the back only at idle once I was in gear there wasn't so much smoke so I then made my way back home and it got worse more white smoke at idle specifically leaving first gear just so much smoke started pouring out then the car started shaking more. I parked the car at my house and let it cool down figured i blew the head gasket. So I checked the oil cap and there wasn't any "sludge". I checked the dipstick and there wasn't any coolant in it looked normal. So the question is what could've caused the smoking and vibrating ? Is it a head gasket or not ?

Just because you popped a HG doesn't mean coolant has to mixed with oil. You have a dead cylinder because of coolant contamination. Pull head and replace items as necessary. Raise car to streets or height as well.

I suggest a compression test, or better yet do a cylinder leak down test. This will help determine if you have a bhg or not, but white smoke generally means water is burning up and blueish means oil. Also, some BHGs don't fully develop immediately and sometimes coolant and oil don't mix right away. Could be the early stages of a bhg or something else. Good luck

I think you're right on the early stage because it never happened before and when I saw it I took home immediately(10 min time span). Not having a garage to work in sucks gonna see if a buddy of mine can do the compression test.
