Smoke....not blu/black, but still...

...Placed manifold, placed carb, placed repainted valve covers (Ford Blue), made custom linkage bits for carb, and tuned carb. Whitish (not black or blue) smoke from tailpipe (not white like radiator fluid). DARN. I was hoping the smoke was from a bad carb or bad adjustment. I had hoped the old carb was running rich. That was part of the reason I changed carbs and manifolds. Smoke stays even after car warms up. Compression test tomorrow. Double darn.
How often is smoke due to bad rubber seals? Can rubber seals present this way? I thought that bad rubber seals present with smoke only when cold.
Before I even consider pulling the rockers and springs, can an engine present this way (just in case the compression test turns out OK).
