Cat diesel smoking after New injectors

I recently had new injectors installed on my 3160 Cat engine that did not smoke much at all on cold start-up, but now I am embarrassed at the dock due to the amount of light blue/white smoke I am sharing with any unsuspecting boater downwind of me. This condition subsides when the engine gets warm. I and my expensive mechanic can't figure out why older injectors would do fine and New ones don't. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
3160 Caterpillar, 940 hours on rebuild, fresh diesel in December, new filters and conditioner for winter.
