I think we understood the initial post just fine, it's you who can't seem to keep your story straight, smh.
Its hard to give any kind of accurate diagnosis on something so seemingly bleak. By strange noises do you mean loud knocking, misfiring/popping, etc? I agree with whoever posted that you need to stop trying to start it and take a step back. do some simple checks such as fluid leaks of any kind, oil in the coolant and vice versa, check the oil level to see how much is ACTUALLY in the engine at this point. Your problem could be alot of things. blown head gasket? ehhhh depends on what kind of "noises" you are hearing. Odds are since it was so low on oil your cousin was driving too hard and the engine suffered from oil starvation and trashed the main/rod bearings. Just an educated guess. You wanted a mechanic's opinion so there you go. Now have the car TOWED to a shop somewhere for a real diagnosis.
Maybe you didn't read the initial post or didn't interpret it correctly, he "borrowed" the car...meaning he wasn't supposed to be driving at all! and the reason i'm not mad because no one was hurt.. i'm really only seeking some kind of mechanical advice. i'm too old to be getting obvious advice about something that's too late to avoid. i just need a mechanics' opinion on what the issue could be, not a lecture.
I'll just add to this to confirm that tons of white smoke typically = a blown head gasket... another indication would be an overly sweet smell in the exhaust, or whitened spark plugs, etc.
Diagnosis would require at the least a compression check & block test to verify it all ( this is what a mechanic is going to do before tearing into the block). The compression check can also be an indicator for damaged rings, but that also would lead to a bluish hue to the smoke.
You may not necessarily need a new motor as long as the damage is limited to the head gasket... but... depending on how hard the kid was running the car when it blew... there could be alot to factor in as far as internal damage...

this whole thread is a fail.
change your oil. dont let young adolescents drive your vehicle if you're even doubting their responsibility behind the wheel.
btw.. your posts make no sense per Bluedream's quoted posts above.
