Default Bad Smoke Issues...

I Have a type r b18 and it is smokin really bad now and just seems to get worse... any ideas on what it could be? I Already changed the oil, cleaned my filter and the spark plugs.... it does not seem to have a bad head gasket... or any oil leaks... well other than the natorious honda oil leak by the vtec sylinoid, but that is a drop like every 4 hours of constant driving... so barely any. thanks in advance...

if the smoke is gray you probly have a crack in the block where coolant and oil are mixing and then burning. there are coolant passage ways throughout the entire block so if one cracks it will mix with oil then when it is burned it turns a gray color.
