you might of nipped the seal when putting them back in, run it a bit longer whip the plugs out you will tell which one due to crud on the plug

I have 190psi +/- 2 on all 4 cylinders on my megane 1.6e 8v k7m.

I had a problem with mine. It did smoked after head gasket replacement. But as ChrisH told me, it was a stuck piston ring. It is now perfect and not smoking at all.

Spray some WD40 in the cylinders and give it some time. It should help if its a stuck ring.
