Looks to me to the the first Idle Power Leak Check following an engine change,if the new engine has been in storage (engine preservation been done as per the manual) they will fire out lots of smoke and flames past the tail on the initial run.After a couple of seconds at stable idle the smoke and flames dissappear.Usually the Airport Fire Service appears wanting to hose everything down!
