Engine Build Blue smoke from cutout

Just got my engine build to make more power

running into the issue of blue smoke when sitting at idle. Checked the spark plugs and they look fine but i noticed the pistons are a goldish color that looks like oil but I have AMS break in motor oil that is red

the pistons I have are weisco anod do not havethat gold color when manufactured

about to check compression here in a minute

I only have about 600 on the miles, my tuner says about 1000 miles until we actually tune it for 700hp

I have about 400 left on the motor until then, not sure if im over concerned. First motor I had built and installed myself
