Check your PCV valve. If its defective or installed wrong (or the engine is over-revved), it will suck oil from the heads into the intake. Of if one of the two small oil drainback holes in each head get plugged with something, oil fills the rockers up and even a good PCV will make an engine blow max-smoke. Oil smoke is normally light blue, but beyond a certain amount, it will look white. Another less common smoke-generator is a ruptured power brake diaphragm. A small hole will suck oil into the power brake, then back into the intake. Temporarily disconnecting all the vacuum lines should diagnose the problem but be very careful if you drive the car with the power brake disconnected!
