I've got to stop being so impatient. So I'm mostly convinced the rocker studs is the issue. I say mostly because the test drive I mostly didn't have any smoke. I was able to provoke some but it took a lot more doing.

I'm pretty sure that is because I really hurried the "sealing the rocker studs" bit. I basically ripped them off, wiped them off, sprayed in some brake clean in the hole and threw it together with some blue lactite on the threads. I'm guessing that probably didn't make for a full seal on all the holes. I'm guessing I need to take it all apart again and this time like really really clean and de-oil the stud threads, the pushrod plates and get the holes really clean.
