    If anything you did some mechanical dammage to the car, maybe a cracked head or something along those lines. If any gasket I would look at your intake gaskets, check your oil does it look like milkshake?

    Typical head gasket issue. Check the oil does it look milky?

    Next guess would be a cracked head. Have you checked compression yet?

    So more than likely front head gasket or cracked front head.
