I would say there is something else going on here Bruce. The smoke might be acceptable if there were just a little puff on initial start, but that much smoke seems to me to be another larger issue, like the machine shop made a mistake or ????
Newly rebuilt modern engines, correctly built, do not smoke.

thank you for your response, wow so I'm trying to figure out if the head is the problem or the ring job, is there any way to test that some how?
