Blown head gasket?
The oil is fine.
But I get white smoke only at idle, but it stops.
The first time was about 2 weeks ago. I pulled over, but as I drove to pull over, it stopped. Did not do it again until tonight. Once again it stopped. If it was a blown gasket, wouldnt it smoke all the time?

It basically will measure the amount of blow bye. You are basically pressurizing each cylinder with a known pressure and measuring the amount of air that is leaking. This could be due to bad rings, valves not seating properly and popped head gasket.
