We used to use a full-synthetic oil in RD350s as long as 30
years ago. Very little smoke, if any, and much improved plug life.
Excellent lubrication, even of rod bearings (as evidenced by a
teardown or two for other reasons).
It somehow doesn't evoke the same feelings as a snort of
exhaust laced with Castrol R, but then the unleaded fuel just doesn't
have the same bouquet, either.
Just make sure the oil pump cable adjustment causes the
witness mark to line up exactly at full throttle, and you're good to
go. I envy you your wonderful little ring-ding.

Just my opinion but if it was smoking a lot before the rebuild, it may
have had other issues like worn main seals.

You are probably really close to optimum air/fuel ratio too if not a bit
on the lean side. If you don't have overheating or detonation problems
then congratulation on getting it tuned perfect!

35 years ago I began using and still use Blendzall. No smoke either
but my buddies know when I'm around.

Have a great one!

35 years ago, I used about two pints of Blendzall castor. It caused my
piston ring to stick in its groove and I was very embarassed at
Saddleback Park, trying to impress the Husqvarna factory team with my
250cc Yamaha that had no more power than a 125cc machine.

When I pulled the cylinder off, I discovered that the exhaust port was
full of castor carbon and the expansion chamber had an incredible
amount of crud in it.

I finally got all the crispy critters out of the pipe by pouring
carbon tetra chloride into the expansion chamber and letting it set.
