It is likely ( and easy to fix ) that your smoking from sitting that long is your valve stem seals....
If you go down that far to replace them... since one or more of the springs have been in compression and the others Not... and springs are cheap... I would replace the stem seals, the valve rotators ( put them on any valves that might not have come with them ) , springs, upper and lower adjusting nuts...
That way you know you are good to go in that department...those things are all cheap compared to the labor of having to go back in to replace one or more...
Several of those things are mentioned as ' on principal' replace items in the FSM..
