Sounds like a good bump or angle pushed oil from the block into the rods and up into the bottom of the pistons. the oil will push past the rings and burns off with the fuel, sometimes it will push it into the muffler and take a few mins to burn out. I'd run it hard for a bit and see if it does not clear out.
