high rpm and smoke ?
what colour smoke ?

If BLACK = excess fuel and soot burnt off...fairly normal
If WHITE = burning overfilled oil
If blue grey = oil burnt via worn rings etc

let your car warm up. Sit and idle , jump out and get some one to rev te engine to redline and back off. It should blow abitof black smoke up top. If there is someblue grey smoke after it backs off there is a blowby leak somewhere in the rings or head somewhere.

rings = rebuild of engine. Its labor intensive and looking around $1500-2000
Cheaper to find a 2nd hand engine
