yeah a bad head gasket will cause a lot of loss in power...and the white smoke. but there are a couple more things that can cause white smoke to come out of your exhaust...warped head being the biggie.
and replacing the head gasket is not an easy job so if you plan to do it yourself, look to curse a bunch and if you are having it done, look to spend quite a pretty penny.
if you have a blown headgasket, usually your heat guage will go up meaning your car is overheating...
