Hopefully your ring and piston is oversized. Id suspect some honing/boring to be needed if oil is coming out
Was it smoking before you replaced the piston and rings? If so, did you offset and get the ring gaps correctly?I have the 212 predator it’s smoking blue smoke and oil is coming out the end of the header.. any ideas? I bought a new piston and rings but I haven’t messed with it yet

I interpreted Cnt38's post that he had not replaced the piston and rings yet. ("I bought a new piston and rings BUT I HAVEN'T MESSED WITH IT YET.")- emphasis addedWas it smoking before you replaced the piston and rings? If so, did you offset and get the ring gaps correctly

I’ve had 1 do this and it was the intake oil seal. I’ve also had one do this and it was the head gasket. Could be your rings but not always the case.I have the 212 predator it’s smoking blue smoke and oil is coming out the end of the header.. any ideas?

Your valve guides and/ or seals could be bad as well. Take the head off, strip it and check the valve guide clearance. Easy method is wiggle the valve side to side with the rockers and valve springs removed, there should be very little side to side movement.
