Why are 3.8 liter engines more known for blowing head gaskets?
The 3.8 GM V6 is prone to blown intake gaskets much more than blown head gaskets. The blown intake gasket causes a loss of coolant which in turn causes overheating and a blown head gasket. The problem exists with most 2000 to 2003 vehicles equipped with the 3.8 Liter V6. There were defects in the upper intake manifold gasket, throttle body nuts, and the throttle body gasket.
How is a blown head gasket caused?
A blown head gasket is usually caused by over filling the oil during an oil change, or just the opposite not having enough oil to compensate the pressure status, therefor causing exstreme overheating which in turn will cause many problems other than just a blown gasket. ie; engine locks up, overheats ,and then is all around just needs replacing. Once you've blown your engine you basically have hit bottom. Hope this helps. It can also be caused by detonation. Especially if you add turbo or supercharger aftermarket.

Should a mechanic be able to tell that a cylinder head gasket is about to blow especially when they have been told that the engine is running hot?
No. He can tell you if it is blown but not if it is about to blow. Clay is 100% right. Remember that overheating can be caused by other problems or not performing routine maintainance-- which in turn may cause the head gasket to fail AND all steps should be taken to inspect/repair the coolant system. The head gasket failing or head warpage may be the result of the cooling system not working properly.
How come theres a lot of smoke coming out of the exhaust on my car when I try to crank it?
It sounds like you have a blown head gasket, oil is in the cylinders and is burning as you turn it over.
What cause a 1987 Toyota 4runner to blow white smoke?
White smoke is an indicator of water leaking into the combustion chamber. Most likely cause is a blown head gasket. Pull the radiator cap and turn over engine. If there is oil present or pressure that blows water out then its very likely a head gasket. Also check the oil and see if there is a discoloration of the oil. There is a possibility it is coming thru the manifold and you can check there too.
