Just want to share a quick video and get some input on this motor rebuild.

Firstly I am proud to say this is the first motor that I have ever had down to the guts and back that I was able to make run.
I have been reading my manuals about carb tuning, and it says to let the motor run for 5 minutes before fiddling with stuff. About 2-3 minutes into running, I start to get a bit of smoke out of the tailpipes. Its Monday, and the first time this was fired up was last Thursday, so it has been run for maybe a total of 30 minutes, probably less... Is that smoke normal for a new engine? Is it just the piston seals getting situated, or did I neglect to change the copper valve guides when I should have?
anyways, check out my motor. Let me know what you think... I welded up this bench rack and slapped some plates together to test it all. I wanted to make sure the motor was going to be functional before I started pouring my heart into the rest of the bike... Happily, I think she's gunna work, even if I need to rebuild the top-end again...
Thanks for any feedback.
