Ditto the thought on giving the rings time to seat. In the 1950's, Dad sold (new) an R-110 International pickup to a fellow known as "Powder." "Powder" was a truck farmer; that is, he farmed mostly vegetables, and brought his produce to town and sold it on the courthouse square, out of bushel baskets in the bed of the truck. Powder's truck ALWAYS seemed to smoke, and one day Dad asked him, "Powder, do you ever get that thing warmed up enough to seat the rings?" (Powder only lived a couple miles from the center of town). Powder's reply: "I never make over about 35 mile [per hour]". Long story short: if/when the rings seat, the smoke should go away.

Second point: Cast rings usually seat quicker than chrome rings...which is why companies like TotalSeal market their "gapless" rings (two overlapping rings in the second ring groove, with ring gaps 180 degrees apart...ergo, gapless) with one ring made of cast iron (to seat quickly) and the other chrome-faced (for longevity).

Hope this helps.
