It may be some residual oil/coolant somewhere. Drive it like a grandma for a few days and see if it is still there. If it still smokes then take it back! I hope you had a reputable shop do the work.

it maybe assembley lube and oils burning off. it's very common when rebuilding engines.

who rebuilt your engine? does it come with a warranty? if the engine continues to smoke after a few days or 500 miles. if it's still smoking, take it back
