Few questions: Where is it smoking from? I'm assuming the exhaust, but it's best to make sure. What color of smoke? Did you install them yourself? If so, did you make sure you cleaned the top of the block really well?

so it is oil. I would say Guitsboy is on the right track with the valve seals.

You're dipstick isn't poping out is it?

https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ghlight=blowby

You may want to check this thread and do this test to make sure.

You can pull your spark plugs and that might help you determine which cylinder is burning the oil. (if it's burning a lot I guess)

About the only other thing I can think of would be a bad head gasket.

Good luck! Let us know what you find.
