Originally I changed the starter , pcv valve , air filter , oil chane and filter , spark plugs , battery , crank sensor , thermostat , then the head gasket , oil change and filter again , valve cover gasket , but the car still has smoke out the exhaust. Wshite smoke. Thick doesn't go away fast. Not continuously sometimes only when I hit the gas. But along w. The smoke comes this stutter thing.. like feels like it wants to stall out but doesn't.. I can not and do not know what to do next w. This car and thought I should get some advice? Btw does not over heat.. rpms a little higher than normal though.

SOUNDS LIKE THE RINGS ARE WORN, MAYBE ONE BROKEN. THIS IS MOST LIKELY ALLOWING OIL TO SLIP BY AND FOUL YOUR PLUG(S).

A COMPRESSION TEST AND/ OR A VACUUM GAUGE MIGHT GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEA OF YOUR ENGINE CONDITION INTERNALLY
