Codes for a misfire on cylinder 3, change all plugs and wires,air filter and oil and filter,and it still was shaking and it cut off at a stop today completely shut off while driving white smoke out of the tailpipe and white milky oil. Was told the head gasket was blown never overheated. If it is a blown head gasket will head gasket sealant work?

Do not use head sealant it will do more damage than it is worth, get a cooling system head check done first, this is a simple chemical test to check for Co in the cooing system, if positive fix the head and done mess around with additives they just don't work.
