As was said, if it is running good, it is nearly impossible for anything to be off enough to cause an overheating problem. If an engine is running lean enough at idle to cause any problem, it won't idle....period. I'm betting you have handled the header pipe w/ hands that were not so free of oil and grease, and that is all it takes to smell, smoke and turn colorish.
Along the same line,...I just traveled 1200 miles,....Oregon to Arizona, towing my Jeep Liberty, and when I first started it here, it smoked and smelled like oil burning underneath ! Come to find out, it was,........all the oily road fillm that had collected on the exhaust. First time towing for me,.....next time I'll expect it !
