if you have to ask i dont think you will be able to change them. best thing to tell you is to go grab a helms or haynes manual.

white smoke = coolant
bluish = oil
black/grey = fuel

white smoke means its burning the coolant...check your coolant and if its milky looking it can be mixing with oil which would mean you have a blown head gasket...doesnt sound good at all...i dont think your valve seals have nothing to do with your problem...hope i helped

In order to change the valve seals you should pull off that head. So to change the head gasket would require the same amount of work. By that I mean changing the gasket. The HARDEST part is going to be to clean out the coolant passage ways from that gunk. Ive never had to do this, so I dont know whats the best way. Yes get a helms now, and you will be fine.
