Default smoke from the breather system

As you may have seen from previous threads I've just put a new bottom end in and have had serious oil leak problems which we thought was the breather system (brought a new uprated one) but later found it wasn't that!!!
So oil leak fixed but now have excessive smoke coming out of the small fillter on the breather system, have been told you could expect a small amount of smoke but this is alot.....

Any ideas

piston rings worn, this would give you smoke from the breather aswell as exhaust, was the bottom end 2nd hand?
