white smoke.. engine coolant leak into the cylinders ... possible headgasket leak.
tapping.. could be a broken valve, where the valve is loose in the cylinder and riding up and down on top of the piston as it goes up and down (had this happen in an OG900).
Either scenario not good. Don't drive it until it can be determined what the issue is (compression test would be a good start).
HTH.
