that much smoke,, you got another problem.

Continue on with the compression test.

you dont have to relief any fuel presure either, just either of the following ...

unplug the fuel pump relay on the pass side trunk,
unplug the inertia switch
unplug the injector wire harness main connector
or
unplug the coil and distributor and tps

the color of the smoke,,(based on what i can see) looks to be more of a rich / oily condition.

you would know best.

Headgakets are kinda fickle and eventually lead to water exits of one or more of the following: in the oil or out the tail pipe or on the ground.

if that is the continuous look of the exhaust, your not running correctly.

If your just adding oil once in a while, then its obvious what the issue is.

The way I crank the engine is to pull the little Red/blue wire off the start relay. Attach a jumper wire with an alligator clip to the start relay where wire was.
Touch the other end of the wire to the positive battery terminal to run the starter motor.
This way you can leave the ignition switch off and not have to worry about running the fuel pump, the injectors or turning on the ignition.
