If it is the head gasket, you will probably find oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil. If it was valve guides, the smoke would be blue, and do it all the time (i'm asuming from what you said that it only does it at initial start up) If it is just after start up and it goes away after a minute or two it could just be age. The secondary O2 sensor may not heat up quick enough and it is causing a rich/ lean situation on initial start up. If it is just after you start it and goes away, i wouldn't worry
