if you used synthetic oil to break it in it will have some smoke i would use non-synthetic for the break in period then change it also if you have new valve seals and new rings with the proper end gaps on them and the rings in there right alignment it should not smoke after about 1 minute unless you have synthetic oil

Engine Suggestions on an engine rebuild. Stock cam/GT40Ps or aftermarket on both for a fun weekend driver?
