See my avatar, just imagine a piston instead of an apex seal. Your engine is toast.

if you have white smoke it is your coolant getting burnt and bad rings won't be a cause for that so you've also had a headgasket...bad rings will only burn oil (bluish) smoke

Very true but the head was just removed to replace the valves so I think the gasket would not be an issue.
