The engine put out power at takeoff but was smoking . How about the top cylinder blew head off and broke the prop feathering oil line that runs over the top of it ? Explains trail smoke, engine running for a period, prop not feathering and oil/fuel residual burning in exhaust after shutdown and the windmilling prop. Only a thought....
