Where's the coolant going? Is it ending up in the oil pan or are you saying since it's smoking the engine is burning it? Burning water comes out as steam with some whiteness mixed in. Was the head magnafluxed for cracks when it was removed? Was it checked for straightness?

The end of this one is funny:
