Default smoke from spark plugs

when i take my spark plugs out, you can see white smoke come up, what does that mean. the car revs up like **** also and doesn't run right. the plugs have oil on them also.

i'm thinking the rings are bad.

If I were you I'd check head gasket and valves.

sounds like a classic blown headgasket. Since there is white smoke pooring out that means you are burning coolant.

And use a new head gasket? Was the head torqued down properly?
