Smoking after valve adjustment

[Ant]

I just finished adjusting the valves on my 340 solid roller rocker motor (.018 intake, .020 exhaust).
Runs great new plugs etc. Smoking out of the left exhaust. No smoke before the adjustment. any ideas ?

What color was the smoke?

How does the smoke smell?

Did the smoke eventually go away?

Lastly, are you ever going to update this thread? Lotsa people spending time to help you figure this out. My opinion is it will eventually stop.

Let's see, you pulled the valve covers and broke their seal.
Then just bolted them back on without any new sealer after adjusting the valves.
Now they seep oil onto a hot manifold and it smokes.

Not out the left tailpipe, it doesn't.
