Would excess oil cause this? Excess oil could have pushed through the valve seals yesterday and burned creating the smoking, but that would have been bluish
I hope it's not your head. I'm just finishing up a motor swap after probable head/HG damage. I was lucky enough to find a donor M44 and ended up renewing all plastic, rubber and seals before I drop in back in.

Do you think you overfilled the oil? Good luck!
