Rebuild , Smoke Problem
It shouldn't be smoking an enormous amount. A little smoke on start up is not uncommon. You might have a problem with the oil control rings. Did you replace with new ones or reuse the old? Old ones are fine to use if they measure within factory specs.

oh, you're in the dominican republic. I don't know if it has the same emissions equipment as in the US. Usually it'll smoke a lot if you block off the crankcase ventilation. I was thinking you might have blocked it off if you removed your emissions equipment.

then you may have blocked the crankcase ventilation. You need to let it vent out probably to an oil catch can. Try driving around with your oil filler cap removed. If the smoke goes away, you need to fix your pvc system.
