2004 E55 Smoking from Exhaust

Hello Everyone,

I would like some advise, my 2004 E55 is smoking like a chimney.

It was running fine but the valve covers were leaking like crazy so I replaced them and now I’m getting major smoke from the exhaust.

I need help figuring out what I did wrong!

you managed to get a lot of oil in the spark plug holes when doing the job?

Id check to make sure the gaskets aren't rolled over or pinched. if they are the natural vac of the engine will suck that oil in and smoke. also check all vac lines are totally connected.
