What did I do this time?
Stage 1. 88ci. I decided to wash/clean in and around the air filter and plate assembly because it was oily throughout from a previously replaced rocker box gasket. Took everything apart down to even removing the breather bolts from the heads. The 2 small breather tubes were the only thing needing to be replaced as they were rotted and cracked through. Everything went back together fine BUT: after the bike warms up for 3 minutes or so, white-ish smoke is coming from (pouring out of) the air intake area and the cylinders seem to be getting VERY hot. I can't see exactly where the smoke is coming from, but there is alot of it. I shut it down, unscrewed everything and put it all back. Same results. NOTHING was changed except for the breather tubes (replaced with identical HD brand) which dump hot air from the rocker boxes back into the air intake. Bike ran 100% before the cleaning. Any ideas?

did you replace the little rubber orings between the breather back plate and the head wear the breather bolt go threw?Maybe one of them fell off while you were doing it and that would let the smoke come threw where you are talking about if im understanding right!!! But that doesnt explain why there is smoke it just explains where its coming from..
