Smoke, if the rings are giving out they are going to be letting oil into the combustion chamber, and that will cause some blue/black smoke. That isn't the only thing that will create smoke though.

ummmm.... if your pistons and rods were to "go out", you would have a lot more trouble and more sounds then just something loose inside. from what it sounds like, you probably need a new timing belt. its has slack in it when cold, so makes a lot of noise, but once it get a little heat from the motor, it tightens up, and gets quieter. lets go with timing belt. or if its a new belt, then adjust your tensioner.

thanks guy's just making sure because today i had a mechanic tell me that my bottom end internals are going out because he head the sound from the outside with the hood down. I kinda had a feeling he was wrong but was'ent sure.

check the timming on the car also. if the belt is making noise and goes away it may go out of time.
