Well as far as I can tell and see, the smoke is coming from the left side of the cylinder head. I can't turn it on right now because, since I got a flat tire, I've taken the opportunity to kind of get into it and it's taken apart right now.
I did clean up the oil with some engine cleaner. Got in there with a rag and a toothbrush and did some scrubbing. Also took off my chain to do some inspection and it has some rust on it and I'm going to replace it just to so I know exactly when it was done and start fresh.
I did take off the valve inspection plate and the O-rings on both of them are pretty much shot. Going to replace those.
I scored a nice torque wrench on craigslist for $25 (don't think the lady knew what she had, but hey) and I'm going to tighten down the bolts to shop manual specs. Put her back together and go from there.
Here's some pics so far.
