It could be injector orings or injector sleeves.

Is it missing?
Does it smoke all the time or just cold?
Does it start good from dead cold?

Remove the oil fill cap on the valve cover. Look for steam or a mist coming out while the engine is running. Let us know what you see. Blowby?

I suspect he would've said it smelled like coolant not oil. IDK tho.

My goal here was to capture a black smoke ring on film. All I accomplished was a smoke screen over my entire neighborhood.

To the un-trained eye, they might think you had a problem. lol, makes most sense to do it all while in there. I think Tj has a pretty good write up on the install, if not Rubberduck has a good one. Good luck
