white smoke is more then likely blown head gasket. i would do a CLT and see if you find bubbles coming out of the radiator. (CLT Compression leak down test.)

sometimes it could just be your valve seals, that might be why it smoke not often. usually if its your head gasket it'll probably smoke consistant.
