The motor smokes all the time

to rebuild the motor or buy
another car and is this caused by
the piston rings being broke the
smoke is white
You could look into an engine swap, as opposed to rebuilding the one you have. Both options have their pros and cons. Otherwise write this car off and get something else, you could easily dump a lot more money into this one than it's worth.
you can get another Corolla, owned by an old lady, with low miles for $1500- just hunt carefully- you will get the holy grail: a Toyota that will run for the next 10 years- this is a lot cheaper and a lot less hassle than fixing that one-

03 Corolla with 455,000 miles. Still runs good and uses only a very little oil. No indication of overheating but pings very badly and is very sluggish.
