Some racers will actually run without any exhaust valve stem seals since there's no real mechanism to pull the oil into the cylinder from those locations. If the car smokes badly at idle and part throttle, I'd suspect the valve stem seals.
My Bad valve seals will not show on those tests
I just re-read the original post,
Do you have the screen under the pcv? Alot of times these don't get reinstalled on rebuilds.
