				 | my guess is  that the rings are gone. a new set of rings will run you 100-150 plus the main and rod bearings another 300. it can be done.

				 | are you low on coolant?  it could also be a blown head gasket and coolant is leaking into your exhaust.

				 | from coolant the smoke should be white not blue. but the head gasket is a possiblity. anyway if he decides to rebuild it he needs to replace the haead gaskets and all other gaskets.

				 | you can tell a lot from the condition of the plugs..  If you can post a very good pic of each plug, we may be able to help you a little more.
