Highly unlikely, especially if you haven't used full boost. I just reread this whole thread and didn't find any comments about it smoking before. What color is the smoke? Pull all 6 spark plugs and shine a small light into each cylinder. If you see any water, it's probably the head gasket again. If they are all dry, it's probably good. How much does it smoke? Maybe you can drive it thru the winter, save some $$$, and determine if the smoke is just valve seals/guides or rings/bearings. Worn rod bearings will throw a lot of oil on the cyl. walls, more than even good rings can handle.
