I completed an in frame on a 63 gas 145 and am experiencing oil smoke (blue) on initial startup for 60 to 120 seconds. After that, the smoke clears completely up. Ambient temperature has little to no effect. The compression is good on all cylinders and it has about 6 hours of use on it post rebuild. All specs were within the range given in the service manual, albeit all right on the very outer limits. Rings, valves, guides, seals and seats were all replaced. Cylinders were honed per Hastings recommendation for the ring set. Is this condition normal for doing a rebuild at the outer limits of "acceptable" or is this indicative of something I may have missed or some other problem.
Thanks
