I got out and it was smoking.. i had no more anti -freeze in there. so i let it cool off and went and got some anti freeze .. it didnt not start.. soo what do u think ? did i blow a head gasket or do i have to get a new engine.. i check the spark plugs and they were wet the anti - freeze a lil wet with them
