ok, I have searched plenty here on white smoke and they all seem to gear towards a blown head gasket. However, they all seem to say that it is either coolant in the engine or oil in the coolant.

I seem to have neither of those. However, my car does smoke LOTS and LOTS of white smoke. It idles wonderfully, however, I can't even go around the block because of great loss of power and great amount of white smoke coming out of the tail pipe.

Can it still be a blown head gasket? Maybe rings?

I need your help!

I don't know man. I also searched on youtube and all the video they have with tips and signs do not apply. The only common thing is my white smoke.

i don't have the following:no bubbles coming out of radiatorno muddy oilno lack of coolantno oil on radiatorno coolant in spark plug hole

maybe its gray smoke... at this point I even doubt the color I see.

do a compression test, that will show if you have a blown gasket

check how much oil you have. sometimes people over fill the oil and never know. this will cause the same white smoke
