White smoke and black soot on exhaust... Heads or rings?

Exactly!! White smoke is definitely water. Could be a head gasket or water grommets. Check the pressure in the cooling system as recommended. A bad head gasket, or leaking water grommets, will pressurize it.
You can also put in a chunk of clear radiator hose and watch for bubbles passing by. That's what we do on our semi.

Ring wear wouldnt account for the white smoke at high RPM-but a bad head gasket,cracked head/block would. Or a factory oil cooler that is leaking a small amount of coolant into the oil.

Well it uses about 3/4 quart of oil on a 80 min drive at 75. That could be normal i guess, but even that, i have to put about a quart every 10-14 days of city driving and towing.
I will get to the pressure testing tomorrow as i am trying to get moved out ofmy current house and into another. Thank you for all your input guys
