Default coolant smoke

ok so a while back i got alot of coolant down in the engine that was leaking out of the EGR valve, tooks the spark plugs out and let it sit for about a week, replaced the gasket and started it like twice for a couple of mins this week and it started sounding and running better but today i finally got it all back together and after it idealing and spitting out some more coolant forabout 5 minsit started smoking like crazy, tons of white smoke flowing out of the exhaust.

so does anyone know if coolant burns white or if its oil?
i cant smell oil burning so i really dont think it is but it could be.
any advise would be helpfully thanks

Sounds to me that you either have a cracked head or a popped head gasket
