Not 100% sure but pinking sounds like the timing...dont see how you could put the timing wrong on the zetecs though there simple as peas

That is likely to be valve stem seals as you are experiencing smoke on the over run which is a symptom.

Pinking as said is usually due to incorrect ignition timing.
