man, l didnt even touch the heads.. l just removed the right VALVE COVER. and l wanted to put new one and it didnt fit and l put the old valve cover back.

l just figured out that oil is coming under the valve cover and hot engine burns the oil and makes smoke and bad smell.. l will need to remov the valve cover and adjust the valve cover gasket!

DAMN.. l shouldnt have even touched the valve covers..
