Your saying remove the valve cover, and gasket, right? I do remember seeing something somewhere on this site that mentions sludge with this vehicle/motor. Again the smoke is only at start up, and not while driving. I do plan on changing the oil&filter every 3500 miles, so should I just wait to see if the smoke issue's improve, or will this sludge if present be a bigger headache if not dealt with, thanks in advance.

If it is sludged it will not get any better. As far as the smoking condition getting any better you more than likely have leaking valve stem seals and they will need to be changed before the smoke goes away
