the harmonics & valve train bouncing caused the push rod to jump when you got on it. a loose guide or a bad seal could cause your symtoms but generally not as MUCH smoke as you are reporting plus the fact that this is a fresh eng & if the guide clearance was correct when the heads were done nothing could have messed them up(not that quick). 2 problems happening simultaneously will(& has) confuse a person like nothing else. I would just hate to see you pull the heads & intake & put it together & be thinking that the head was the problem when the heads were fine & changing(or resealing) the valley pan gasket along with it was what really fixed it. The intake is a MUCH more likely cause & much easier & cheaper to do.

A next heavier wt of oil would up your psi a bit & when you take the stat out to check it take it out for a drive w no stat for a day which will tell you if the stat itself was restricting the flow or if the prob is elsewhere. It'll take longer to warm up but that wont hurt you for just (1) day.
