RE: So, describe the situation. ;-)

It seems that you have a very sick engine. First, take a compression test and a cylinder leak down test. Find out if your rings are totally dead or if you have a blown head gasket. If the smoke is white, it is usually water getting into the combustion process. If it is grey to dark grey, almost blue, it is usually oil consumption and if it is almost black it is an over rich condition (carburetion). Do further checking and post the symptoms you find.
This thread, so far...
