Default Blue smoke at vtec xover on freshly built motor No smoke before or after xover???

H22, sleeved, je pistons,300miles since build, tuned, xover 4700, 12psi (boosted),compression test ok.

Getting a puff of blue smoke right at xover. Does not smoke at all before or after xover.

Could it be that xover is set too low (H22) or what else? I noticed that after engine is fully warmed it does not do it any more.

how many breathers do you have? If it's just a little puff I wouldn't worry about it. You are sure it's not black smoke?
