Nothing cheap. White smoke is a sign of steam. Most likely the engine is mixing antifreeze into the combustion chamber from a bad intake gasket, head gasket, or warped head. Its gonna need a teardown to replace the head gaskets. Think of spending over $700 in labor and about $200 in parts.
You should've flushed the coolant before it turned acidic and ate away the gaskets.
