Just because there is no water in the oil doesn't mean you don't have bad head gaskets. Just an FYI. Is it burning oil because that's what you think is causing the smoke or is it burning oil because you have no leaks and the oil level is dropping steadily so you have to add between oil changes? Typically, light white or greyish smoke is from water/coolant, black is from running rich, thick white is from raw gas, and blueish is from burning oil.
