If you had the head gasket replaced and it is still blowing white smoke (burning anti-freeze) then a cracked head is very likely. The aluminum heads on the saturns were known to fail eventually due to weak (lost foam) casting proscess. You might be able to find a remanufactured head quite a bit cheaper than a new one but will not likely be able to have yours repaired.
