89 camaro rs smokes at idle

i have an 89 camaro rs 305 tbi.

just reuilt it and i have smoke coming out of the exhaust when i sit at a light or when its warming up. it builds up and when i hit the gas it flushes it out.

it has new valve guide seals and a pvc valve, it did it really bad the first time i drove it after it was put back together but not it only doesit at idle and i dont lose hardly any oil but it looks and smells like oil smoke. my oil goes down about a centimeter a week on the dipstick from driving it everyday.

please give me advice on anything it could be and things to check, thanks guys.

You say it was just rebuilt? It sounds like it wasn't rebuilt right. I was going to say value guide but you said you already took car of this.

Give more details on what was rebuilt.
