What are signs of a blown engine vs blown head gasket?
With a blown head gasket the engine will still run, poorly with issues, but run. A blown engine will not continue to run from that moment on.

Antifreeze, engine oil, and engine parts on the ground under the vehicle might be a clue.
What is the difference between a cracked block and a blown head gasket?
A cracked block means that the engine itself is cracked. A blown head-gasket means that the gasket between the engine and the head has blown. Either can be caused by overheating the engine. When an engine overheats the head can warp causing the head-gasket to give out. In some engines the heat cracks the block. If the block is cracked, it's over. If the head-gasket is blown you can always machine the head surface and put it all back together.

How do you tell if a motor is blown?
Your answers will vary on this, however I do not consider a motor "blown" unless it has a hole in it caused by an explosion or internal malfunction such as a rod thrown through the engine block, or if it has over heated ( extreamly ) and warped the engine. if the engine is not fixable I say its blown. Some others will call it blown if just the headgaskets are blown or maybe if the engine jumped timing. These are fixable and even if an engine piston rod is broke but has not injured the block it also can be fixed. each Mechanic has their own opinion on what is called blown, some will call it blown just because they don't want to work on that model. Get a second opinion always !
What effect will a cooling system failure have on a running engine?
Nothing good, I can tell you that. Anything from a warped head, cracked head, warped block, cracked block, and basicly, a blown engine.
What are the signs of a blown ring seal?
Blue smoke out the tailpipe--lots of it. If its a blown ring seal, then the oil is being "blown" into the air cleaner, burned up and out the exhaust. Also, the engine oil level will be next to nothing.

What is a blown head?
First-A head gasket is located in between the piston cylinder head and the engine block, inside a car engine. Now a blown head is a blown head gasket. It causes the engine to overheating. All the engine parts are made of metal. So, when the temperature of an engine heats beyond a point, it leads to the blowing of the head gasket. The gasket has failed to seal the space between the head and block. This allows coolant to enter the combustion chamber or the oil galleys. It can also mean the head has cracked.
Why is radiator fluid leaking and white smoke coming from the exhaust?
You might have a blown head gasket or your engine block is cracked. Edit to add; The white smoke is steam. That means that your coolant got into your cylinders. A blown head gasket is the most likely cause, but a cracked engine block or warped aluminum heads are possibilities.
