Whitish smoke from manifold area
My brother and I just swapped out my stock setup and put in the EvoGreen. While I was tearing stuff out, I also put in a Buschur ported/coated mani and coated stainless O2 housing.
Finally got everything back together and into the car, put the rest of the pipes/parts back together, started it up and it seemed fine. After about a minute of idle, smoke started to come from the hood vent so I shut down. Opened the hood, started it - same deal...about a minute and whitish smoke and a "weird" smell - don't really think it's oil. I also do not even see a drop of anything on the floor or running anywhere.
Did a quick search before posting and another similar thread suggested that it could be the WD-40 he used. I used PB Blaster, and definitely applied it liberally to my stock setup and then used the same bolts/nuts, and since I can not pinpoint the location of where the smoke is coming from I think it's that.
Any other theories? Thanks!

Definitely the PB Blaster, I used the same thing when doing a manifold change and it smokes FOREVER... Don't worry about it and just drive around for awhile eventually it will stop.
