Could it be the tricked out engine that gave the smoke etc? Don't know,

I have read that the reason the external luber is such a bad idea is that
without a small orfice, it will cause oil to "pile up" in the valve cover and
you can end up with valve guides submerged in oil. An intake valve, on the
intake stroke, may be able to suck a bit of oil down the guide, which is not
liquid tight.
