    Rings will smoke damn near all the time, stem seals will only smoke under heavy vacuum.

    Could however be that you dropped a couple valve seals and that'll smoke all the time as well.

    I would bet valve seals.

    so i am inexperienced, is this something that i can do at home or should i take it to a machiean shop?

    Not too bad, it's just annoying having to do a full HG job just to get to them.
