2001 Chevy S-10 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual 110k miles

Sometimes when I start my chevy s10 it will sound and feel like it has a really low idle and it will blow a lot of white smoke. I recently had my radiator replaced because it was cracked. From my research it sounds like coolant in the cylinders. My engine did get hot but I never let it get hotter than 250 degrees. Ideas? :(
