smoking oil but why? - Page 2

Your oiling system may not be operating as it should- if it's not returning to the oil tank properly it will wet sump and barely run- and force great gobs of oil past the piston. Since you've had the engine out I'd first look for a pinched return line. Also inspect the frame filter screen and case screen, and make certain the pump is happy and correct.
