The smoke could be coming from oil dripping down onto the exaust manifold and burning off. It is important to make sure your new valve cover gasket is not leaking oil. If it is not leaking, it is possible that some oil dripped down during the installation. Keep monitor of your oil level. It may take a while for the oil to burn off.
