I recently put a new intake on my 5.0, I forgot to mark the dizzy when I removed it. So I got the engine at TDC, dropped the dizzy back in. I set the timing at 12 degrees, or so I think. Now I have smoke coming from the header bolt that holds the dipstick on, and from the dipstick. What's wrong now?

Did you change the oil?

Its prob just coolant you let drip into the oil burning off. It will boil out of the oil when it get up to temp. just make sure you changed the oil. Water not a good lubricant.
