Blue smoke @ wot

Well I have about 800 miles on my recent rebuild. And everything is fine except when I get on it. When I go wot it puffs out some blue smoke, not a whole lot but enough that I notice it when I step on it. Now it doesnt smoke at idle only when I go wot. When I started the motor up for the first tiem I used dino oil 10w30 for about 600 miles and then I changed to mobile 1 10w30 synthetic. Did I switch to synthetic to soon?.
