Does the valve train sound different -- more clattering than before?
As others have said, I don't think there's a connection between valve adjust and smoke.
At 130K your 3.2 is likely showing some valve guide wear, so your mechanic is probably right about that. But I'm guessing a bit too much oil is giving you more smoke than usual, although you probably always had a bit of valve guide smoke on decel, but didn't notice it.
