That sounds like the head for sure.

Blue smoke is oil, white is water. Both, means both are getting out somewhere, and the obvious culprit is the head gasket. Don't run it any more lol. Gasket set, bolt set and torque wrench off ebay for about 70 quid in total, max. Get a haynes manual and get working :)

It softens up hard valve stem seals so oil can't seep down onto the top of the piston and put out blue smoke when you start up, if you look up oil seal conditioner on google theres lots of em there, we have forte stuff in the garage.
