I went and read the post on the AZ Crew forum. It seems like everything is resolved. Yes, I agree with JohnnyB about the remaining smoke being residual burn off. A good trip around Phoenix freeways will probably clear all of that up.

I'll take this opportunity to post some helpful reminders about the valve seals and the hydraulic lash adjusters.
