We got this resolved last night.
it seems the valve adjustment on cylinder #1 was not properly done, and they were slightly open...( no tapet clearance ) should be closed., we re-adjusted the #1 cylinder valve clearances and all is working well. I will see if I still have the Puffs of smoke from the oil filler tube, once we test drive and get the rest of the bits put back together.

compression test is back at 55PSI. ( stock head )
