Most likely rings or cracked ringlands.

you have to do a compression/ leakdown test to see what's the problem

stock honda rings are pretty dman solid.....it's usually the ringlands that will crack.

If you are always getting smoke now you prolly blew up your motor (cracked ringland) The only way to get it fixed is to get a rebuild

Do a compression test and that will give you some answers

Yep, we had the same exact problem with a GSR that came in for some tuning. I got in the car, turned it on, and smoke just started pouring from the breather. We did a compression test and number 3 cyclinder was like 105 and the rest were 195 I think...I can't remember exactly. But yea do a compression and leak down.
