Default Bad Signs, please help...

Right now im running a d16a6 with a 14b junkyard setup on like 8psi. Its the original motor for my 88 crx si w/ about 230,00 miles on it (hehe). been bossted for atleast 15,000. Here is the problem as of about 3 weeks ago white smoke POURS out of it. runs good other then killing oil and smoking bad. So my question is this, what exactly do you think it could be. The piston rings? Im sorry if i sound dumb. Would it be more cost effective to A. fix my motor or B. buy a new w/ lower miles d16a6... thanks for your help in advance..

Erik

Blue Smoke = Oil
Black Smoke = Rich
White Smoke = Coolant

I would put money that it's just a headgasket. Pull the head and replace the gasket.
