Question Bought Blazer, blew motor - all in a month :(

I bought a 1999 Blazer, Vortec 4300, private deal. Three weeks went by and the truck started hesitating. Thought I would do a tune up of plugs and wires. Two days ago, truck started smoking. Thought it was bad gas or too much fuel. Today, engine started knocking and smoking real REAL bad. Almost no power, and knocking bad. Oil level is half way up the dipstick.

Blown piston rings? Head gasket? I need help. If I could post videos on this forum, I will post a video.

I'll post this in another forum on the board.

Just glad this board exists where I could knock on the brains of others for knowledge.
