I havn't been riding since I got my motor done, just a few puts around the dairy. So today I went for a good ride, bout 15 minutes, and I stopped and looked over the motor, and I saw a little bit of smoke rolling off of the cylinder head. So I putted back to the shop and cooled her down. Now I assume its just the gasket sort of seating? but you tell me, any help will be appriciated. thanks

Are ALL bolts tightened wih the same torque?
If smoke comes out from the head, something's wrong...isn't the cyl or head scratched where the seal sits?Isn't the seal broken? Maybe your head overheated and bent. When all bolts are not torqued the same, that's what happens, even without overheating. Check if it's straight.
