Default white smoke?

ive had a lot of work done to my civic and it finally is running good, (timing still needs to be adjusted a little bit) today i got a call form the shop and said that it was smoking white, he thinks head gasket, he is checking tomorrow and says there is a small chance it could be somthing else what do you guys think it is?what else could it be?

if it is a hg he said about 425 for parts and labor without tax, do you think its worth it?

Could be a bit of blow by. Most of time its blue when its oil but mine smokes white when oil blows by my exhaust seal.
