There are other reasons for heavy smoke from the exhaust. Failed AOS comes to mind first. Before throwing another 10-15K at your car for a new motor you may want to get in there for a look, if only to confirm his diagnosis. Even the most experienced tech misses stuff once in a while. It's your dough not his. If coolant is truly gushing from the cylinders it is probably a goner.
