When you put in a new piston and rings did you sand the glaze off the cylinder wall? The rings won't seat against the cylinder unless you do that. A new cylinder has micro grooves in it from the boring bar but a used cylinder doesn't. Had you kept running it the rings and cylinder would have seat eventually but it would have smoked for a while.
