Yes, if there's white smoke coming out the exhaust the engne is burning coolant it has to get into the combustion chamber via a broken head gasket, a cracked head or a cracked block. A simple leak down test will identify the problem cylinder. I hope this helps. Take care.
Check the firing order of the plug wires . have a compression test done as you may have a blown head gasket between the two cylinders. Check distributor cap for cracks and internal condition that will allow shorting of the spark
Cracked head means replace your engine, head gasket if you do it yourself approx $150 , dealership cost $800. Remove the oil cap on the top of the engine block , put your finger in and see what color the oil is if it's dark it's not a cracked head , if it's white and or milky looking, you have water in your oil, cracked head !
1) Cracked or warped cylinder head 2) Cracked engine block 3) Blown head gasket
Blown head gasket is the best you can hope for. And cracked or warped cylinder head is next most likely. A cracked engine block is least likely of the three. Have you noticed anything unusual, heard any noises? And has the car overheated really badly?
You have either blown out the head gasket or cracked the cylinder head itself. You will need to remove the cylinder head and at a minimum replace the head gasket. Inspect head surface after dis-assembly to verfiy that no cracking is present.
There is really no difference between a blown or cracked head gasket. In either case the gasket would have to be replaced. Generally the term "cracked" is used when referring specifically to the cylinder head/s its/them selves. If the cylinder head is cracked it is a much more expensive repair.
