Re: white smoke....and its not the tires
Do a compression check. First do it dry and then wet.
Say if a cylinder is 80lbs and the rest are 100. Adding oil in the test will raise the compression up if the rings are bad. Adding oil and the compression does not come up, its in the valves. Bent/worn or whatever.
Who indexed the rings when they were installed? A bad index or rings that were not trimmed the right way can cause problems.
What kind of blow by are you getting out of the bad side valve cover?
I hope its not in the rings. Maybe a intake or head gasket.
