seems like it could be a number of things - do a compression test and even a leak down test - see how long it takes each cyl to pump up compared to others

What color is the smoke?
Black= too much fuel
Grey/white= oil or antifreeze depending on the smell.
I am betting it will be rings or vavle guides/seals


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Do a quick check to see if all the plugs are the same type and gap. Maybe someone only got half done with a tuneup.
