Default crx b swap smoking white

hey guys just swapped my alternator on my b18b1 crx. in order to do it i found it easier to pull my intake manifold off and pull the alternator out through the top.
but now she's smoking white and has a rough idle any clue? smell's very rich and has no power it bogs out when i give it gas in gear.

did you replace the intake gasket after you pulled the manifold? youre probably leaking coolant into the intake itself. white smoke=burning coolant, blue smoke=oil, and black smoke=youre running really rich...

There is a much easier way to get the alternator out. >>>>>>>https://honda-tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2986970

It may also be possible that small pieces of debris from inside the manifold, fell down into one of the cylinders and is just burning off. It all depends on how much smoke you are seeing.
