Sounds like you're getting water in the combustion chamber. What color was the smoke? Blue = oil is gettnig is, and it could be rings. White = antifreeze and your **** is still fucked up, maybe even more than you thought.

i get a lil blue smoke for the oil blow by and a lil more black smoke from where its runnin so rich. its an SLP tune that came w/ predator programmer. but no white smoke

But the car still run 45-50 oil psi when its warmed up so the rings aint but so bad are they?

so far no water leaking out of hole but time will tell if the fix worked or not. i smelt water at first but i think its where it had got all over the headers and block from b4 ,but no more smell and no water so far

If you lost oil pressure due to blowby, your car wouldn't run. You're probably fine. Get a better tune on it, both smoke colors might go away.
