White smoke is usually the give away for water in the cylinder.
Check for compression also while you have the plugs out check for a very clean one. Did you check for water in the radiator? If it is going into your exhaust it would defiantly be low.

White smoke is usually one of two things. when the engine is cold, it will blow white smoke, like in winter time. thats prolly not your cause! the other thing is def. blown head gasket or cracked heads. water in the cylinder.
