Depends what you used for assemvlr lube. Another factor is the piston rings have nor seated to the cylinder walls yet. Just after my rering job I bleached out the engine. My fuel system pumped so much fuel that I lost compression. I added a little oil to each cylinder and then refired it. I now have 150 miles on my rebuild. It runs better with every mile I put on it. Your smoking problem will go away. Just give it a few miles and a little time.
