Oops I made a mistake...

I just finished doing some work on my 1998 Dodge Avenger (2.5 V6) and apparently made a small mistake along the way. I replaced the spark plugs and wires and while in there went ahead and did the valve cover gaskets and the spark plug well gaskets due to oil on the wires. Also replaced was the intake plenum gasket.

After it all was said and done I started it up and oh boy. It idles rough, sounds like it's missing and has white smoke pouring out from underneath the upper intake.

Any ideas what I should look at once I get back from work tonight?

first thing i'd do is to check everything is good and tight, otherwise you could have oil going where it shouldn't be.
