i just adjusted my valve's
and i noticed alot more smoke coming out of the tailpipe.
before when it was as cool as this it never blew this much out.

what color is the smoke?
if it is white it may be water/ condensation or coolant.
blue, it is oil, valve seals or valve guides.
grey, it is oil, piston rings.

maybe your valve seals are going bad. I dont see how adjusting your valves could make it smoke worse, but i guess it could happen.

it's white i smell it. it smells like gas. no hint of that sweet smell.
and the car is reall quiet.
the exhaust is louder that the engine now. it's not the other way.
plus the acceleration is smoother now.
i see other car's blowing out alot of smoke, so i'm guessing mine's is fine, i checked the coolant/oil both fine.

It is probably just b/c it is getting cold. Just check your oil and coolant level every weekend to be on the safe side.

both are fine.
i just belive that since these valve's have'nt been adjusted, i've been used to seeing it not give out little bit more than usual.
