If your piston rings were burnt out then oil would be getting into your piston chambers. White smoke is coolant, so my bet would be on a head gasket.

Might mean something is going to go soon. . Mine did a ton of white smoke when it overheated and warped the head. . Coolant was going everywhere.  .I had to get a new head. . That is when i went SOHC vtec. .   Laughing

found out what was wrong pulled out the head this moring en there was coolant on the cylinder were the pistons  so i vacum all the coolant then resurface the head and the block then changed the head gasket ... but still smoking when im reving it when it idles does not smoke i think i got change the oil coz the oil en coolant they mixed up in the block

You have to drain all your fluids. . all. . oil, coolant, etc. .
then re-fill. .

Valve seals should be blue smoke.
