Default white smoke/radiator fluid?

ok so my car smokes a little when i get up to about 4grand. it smells sweet not like oil. and its not thick smoke either it disapates pretty fast. my valves tick a little, if i got then adjusted do you think the smoke would stop or could it be a blown head gasket?

before i changed my head gasket i did a compression test and it was 290 270 280 290 which is what it was when i first got it. wouldnt a blown head gasket cause it to loss compression????
