What colour smoke and does it blow it under load,straight idle or a puff of smoke after initial throttle from a downhill run.

Changing oil generally won't stop smoke blowing.It will blow smoke if there is a mechanical or wear problem whether the oil is clean or dirty.

What sort of rebuild was done on the engine, was it a full rebuild including new valves,pistons rebore etc or was it just a re-ring job.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.
