everything is working now but when we started it up, after about 5 min.s i started to see smoke from the front header under the valve cover gasket. i had the recall done a couple weeks ago so i dont think its that.
im at my friends and im a couple town away from my house so i dont want to drive it home unless you guys think its just because it hasnt started in a few days.

i would say that if you changed the oil there is a possibility that you spilled some oil on it. When you replaced the coolant you might have spilled some on the front manifold

i made sure not to spill any and got a big funnel. i would like to let it run and maybe it would just burn off but i dont have a fire extinguisher and that doesnt sound safe just incase a fire does start
