I mean the only smoke I shoot is on cold mornings, from the condensation. This goes away after about 2-3 minutes down the road.

Also, could worn spark plugs cause the excessive build up from not burning the fuel correctly?
yes yes and yes but I believe its a really really common thing to have gunked up piston heads.
