/ The guy that put the engine internals together says "The rings are not seated yet end the smoking is normal. Just give it a couple hours of work"

I purchased a kubota 3830 in 2007. The mechanic from kubota told me to start the tractor let it idle for one minute then take it to 1300 rpms for the warm up. He said the oil pressure is too low below a thousand rpms. I've overhauled hundreds of refrigeration compressors with insert bearings. The standard was always 10 psi for every 1000 rpm for that type of bearing.on a piston type engine the only time I experienced the problem your describing was using Chrome moly rings and it did stop using oil after a while. We bought a 1994 carry. It smoked from day one. At 40000 miles it stopped and I gave the car away at 350 thousand miles and it still didn't use oil between changes. I would use the tractor. If there is a problem it will get worse not better. It sounds like your mechanic knew what he was doing other than riding the brakes.
