white smoke....and its not the tires

well, i rechecked the plugs,and they seem alright. Some were a bit darker than others, but most were tan. when i fired it up, i noticed that water is coming out of the exhaust, (a nice thing about side exhaust, you can easily watch it!) After running it for a bit, i noticed that the right side just seemed to shoot alot of white smoke out. While i was out there and put on a new thermostat gasket, i started wondering if I have my heater hose lines hooked up wrong. Its riged up so that the port by my themostat shares a hose with one of the water pump ports. I used a T. Could this be pushing coolant through the engine through that hole, and into a cylinder?? It just seems odd that the right side would be smoking alot, and the left side only when i rev it up. (smokes when coming back down) There is no oil in the antifreeze, or vise versa (that i can see) thanks
