well im not a pro or anything nor do i know a crap load about engines but it sounds like when your engine heats up and your rings expand because of the heat which would make them fit the bore perfectly
but like i said i dont really know for sure mabey someone else dose but thats just my geuss

neways smoke on startup is very common and goes away after a few minutes, it's nothing to worry bout, oil pools in the head right over the exhaust valves and as it sets the oil runs down the valve seals and into the exhaust ports, or even cylinder, takes a few mins for it to burn off, but no biggy and nothing to be alarmed about
