I spoke to a Ford rep and he said that the engines usually are broke in at about 200-300 miles because of the type of rings that Ford uses.

All it says about Ford is that the rings are broken in at 200 to 300 miles. I don't see anything unusual there. I have 1100 miles, and if mine was smoking on start-up I would worry.

What was the temp during the time period, if it's cold you'll see what could be taken as smoke but isn't.
