smoke, smoke and more smoke!

If it really is white smoke that should be coolant. Did you check your head when it was off to see if it is warped? That could be a possibility. The only ways coolant should get into the combustion chamber is past the head gasket or turbo. The only other possibility would be if there is a crack somewhere, TB or block are the 2 I can think of that would do it.

Do you have other symptoms of a blown HG? Does it lose any coolant?

Start with the basics.

What do the spark plugs look like? Are they oil fouled? Do they have coolant on them? Does one look out of the ordinary? Are you losing coolant?

Narrow it down to coolant or oil and then you can chase down the causes.
