You forgot to install the oil ring spacers that are integral to the piston used with a 2.2L stroker. Take it all back apart.

spacer? would that be the oil ring support rails that came with the pistons?

Either that or you didn't go thru the proper process of seating the rings yet. Mine smoked like a chimney until I seated the rings, after that the smoke screen was gone.
