Default Definately burning oil, cammed ls1

I am running an 02 LS1 w/ Torquer v3 cam. I did the ls6 ported oil pump, prc dual springs w/ ti retainers, new valve seals and seats, and hardened pushrods.

It used to blow smoke at WOT which I didn't really think much of.
My car is now smoking (burning oil) at idle.

What steps should I take to diagnose and fix this problem?

Everyone has told me to change out valve seals...Im trying to get a buddy of mine to pick them up from his dealership so we can put them in. He said it takes a couple hrs. I'll keep you posted on AIM about that, but let me know if you find any other info cuz the smoke is pissing me off too!

Leak down test.. Also look for oil on the plugs when you pull them..
