Yeah it means the compression rings aren't any good anymore. But that doesn't mean the car will blow smoke. The compression rings and oil rings are separate so you can lose compression but not blow smoke, or you can blow smoke but not lose compression.
Still, I would assume your oil rings and compression rings are both gone, but really that should be blue-ish smoke not white.
Did you get a pressure test on your coolant system?
Err i forgot the exact readings but anyway, the smoke is actually bluish. To my untrained eye it seemed like just white. But taking photos of it and having a closer look at it, it really was a pale blue. And i didnt do it on my coolant. Im pretty sure my rings are ****ed
when two cylinders which are beside each other have equal but very low readings it can indicate a failure of the headgasket between the two, thus passing pressure between each cylinder during the cycle.
