So I put a 350 in my 47 ****** jeep. When I got it was told it had a new cam. So I dropped it in a hooked everything up I followed all the steps to break in the cam. Flash forward to today and I am double checking all my rockers and once the engine had been running for a bit I noticed smoke coming of the right side of the engine (even cylinders). There is no smoke coming out of the the pipe but rather right where my headers connect to the heads. It is not a crazy amount of smoke and it didn't smoke at all when I was breaking in the engine. You only notice when you are at idle. Any ideas?

Check to see if there is any oil leaking out of the valve cover and getting on the headers producing the smoke.

your valve cover gasket's are probably wasted after removing them a couple time's put some felpro rubber gasket's on them they will stand removing them several time's ,also stamped steel cover's are junk if you plan on removing them several time's. i like die cast aluminum they don tend to warp at the hold down bolt area.
