Did he say anything about oil pressure? And do you get regular oil changes? Seems premature failure of the lifters. But with the check engine light being on, if you go to AutoZone or Advanced Auto, whatever you have for a local parts store, they should be able to scan the computer for free and tell you what the code is, if you write the code number down, we can tell you what might be causing it. Don't let them tell you what the problem is, they will try to sell you a part just from a code number, but that is not the correct way of diagnosing an issue. The code will give directions as to what may be happening. My guess is it's probably a connector or wire since the engine has been apart recently. It will most likely be a "P" followed by 4 numbers. I.E. P0300 for example. That is a powertrain code. But write down the exact code. As for the oil burning on the exhaust, the leak will have to be found. Which shouldn't be that difficult, wherever the smoke is coming from.
