AOS Replaced but I have some residual smoke

Replaced the AOS, the top tube and the boot. Definitely fixed my problem. I still have some smoke on startup for about 15 seconds. How long does it take to clear up.

after changing mine and first starting it up.. the smoke lasted at least 5-8 mins before it went away... i was scared at first cause it didn't seem to be stopping or getting better but after a few the smoke was going down and finally gone... guess it depends how much oil got out when the aos went out...

did you also change out the j-tube? If not, definitely clean it out along w/ the throttle body ASAP. Here's a DIY on TB cleaning from Pedro's site:
