Driving the engine hard once in a while is a good thing to do just to clean it all out. Just as long as you dont drive it hard all of the time. Neglect is usually the biggest factor in the run down of engines. Make sure you are using the right kind of oil etc. I always thought that blue smoke was the cause of blown piston rings. White smoke is usually a leaking head gasket. Either way that motor is not going to last too much longer.
