Default 05 kodiak 450 4x4 White smoke help

I just got the engine rebored to extra large. Its been in the water once and i know no moisture got in and it was producing white smoke even before i even took it out after the reboring. So it has to have new rings. I also dont loose any oil or radiator fluid so it cant be a head gasket correct? Can it really just be the oil. It comes up about halfway on the dipstick! Should it stop at the little edge after like a centimeter of dipstick?! And what type of oil is best i think i got regular 10w-30 in it

Please help!(:

When a motor burns oil it usually blue smoke and you can smell it burning.

I ride behind my friends oil burning 96 Kawasaki Lakota its a "Check the gas and fill up the oil" type of ATV.

He can be 25 yards ahead of me and I smell the oil burning.
You may just have a carb issue.

Get a new oil filter and some regular ATV motor oil as theres a big difference. I use Yamaha 10W40.
