Advise on new head

Saw white smoke comming out of my 22re. She has about 30,000 on a rebuild.
Compression was 182,181, 190, 204. Ordered a coolant exhaust gas test kit from Napa. If the test is positive I'd like to use this opportunity to upgrade the head/cam. Local to me are enginbldr http://www.engnbldr.com/head-shop.html and Team Yota http://http://www.yotashop.com/amc-1...head-complete/
Any opinions?

Photo of #1 and 2 plugs. The #2 plug was whiter than the others

Just talked with enginbldr and he said based on my high compression readings
the head gasket isn't blown but I may have a small crack in the head.
So the head is comming off and to the machine shop for testing.
