First off, is there any coolant in the oil (it will look like a milkshake.) I would start looking for other causes for the smoke other than the headgasket. A spark plug will not have black soot all over it if coolant is leaking into the cylinder - it will look like it has been steam cleaned.
-Burning oil. I have seen synthetic oils burn almost pure white.
-Brake booster alright? Leaks between the master cylinder and booster housing can suck brake fluid into the intake (and it burns white.)
-Coolant passages in the intake manifold. Does the car have a throttle body coolant passage? Is the gasket between the throttle body and intake alright?

Why do people just post what they are thinking? Without thinking.
