Narrative:
I was the first officer; the pilot flying. During climbout passing through approximately 14;000 MSL I noticed that the left engine oil temperature was high; in the caution range; approximately 164 degrees. I had the captain look at the engine oil temperature QRH. The checklist guides you to turn off the autothrottle arm switch; then retard the thrust lever of the affected engine with confirmation of the of the other pilot. The oil temperature reduced below the caution range. The QRH also guides you to make plans to land at the nearest suitable airport. By the time we were finished with the checklist we were climbing through 27;000 ft when the cockpit filled with smoke. Following the memory items for cockpit smoke we donned our oxygen masks and established crew communication. The captain declared an emergency and requested to return to the departure airport. To stabilize the situation I engaged the autopilot. Then we selected the left engine bleed to off to see if it would clear the smoke and it worked. The smoke cleared quickly. Center vectored us for an ILS approach to the runway. The captain requested landing performance information from dispatch. For some reason we received a message from dispatch stating that performance numbers had been sent but we didn't receive them. The captain looked up the performance in his ipad. After a normal landing we taxied to the gate and deplaned the passengers.
