White smoke means water is getting into the combustion chamber somehow. Some white smoke is expect when starting cold. A lot of white smoke after it is completely warmed up is another story. Consider all the ways water can get into the combustion chamber. Water in the gas? If you are lucky. Drain gas and replace with fresh gas. If not, the water is coming from the cooling system. Check your radiator. Do you see little bubbles or foam? Blown head gasket or cracked block. You could try a radiator stop leak product and hope for the best. Otherwise I would take the head off and look for leaks past gasket or sleeves.
