@bapland211 white smoke from an exhaust is pretty indicative of coolant being burned in the engine. Sounds like a blown head gasket or a cracked head. I would suggest you do a leak down test and see if you can identify, where the compression is leaking from. Also, pull your sparkplugs and look at the faces. With that you can check each cylinder to check to see if some are worse then others.
