Fill it with break in oil and try the following:
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE (From Hastings site)
1. Make a test run at 30 miles per hour and accelerate at full throttle to 50 miles per hour. Repeat the acceleration cycle from 30 to 50 miles per hour at least ten times. No further break-in is necessary. If traffic conditions will not permit this procedure, accelerate the engine rapidly several times through the intermediate gears during the check run. The object is to apply a load to the engine for short periods of time and in rapid succession soon after engine warm up. This action thrusts the piston rings against the cylinder wall with increased pressure and results in accelerated ring seating.
If it still smokes after that I would suspect excessive valve/guide clearance. The umbrella type seals worked great for me. Hard to believe you have bottom end trouble with no miles and good compression.Good luck.
