Does the smoke smell sweet? If so he's probably got a blown head gasket. Check the overflow bottle and see how much coolant there is. If it is low then I'd suspect a head gasket.
If the smoke doesn't smell sweet his timing could off. I'd start with a valve adjustment, and timing chain check, and a diesel purge. Then see what happens.
