Not to be the barrer of bad tides an hope is not your case, But...My press-in Piston Pin came out an was riding the #4 cylinder wall ....Brand new build,I guess happened on the Dyno, I wasn't there (An was Pissed about) They gave me the car,It Ran ok ,the Oil pressure was a little bouncy,No smoke.. ,but every now an then ,Whoosh out the tail pipe white cloud,after 3 full tanks of gas cruising, clouds got worse an worst,Finally after searching everything you stated above,pulled the motor an found the Piston Pin damage...I wound up sleeving that cylinder but cracked it on this last explosion..(boost line slid off,30psi + from gt71),lol..8^(,Lesson # 452451 on my journey's , Go chrome molly sleeve if you have to if it's even repairable..If not it's another block
Good Luck

i know i know,
when i turn off closed loop and lean out the idle it seems to go away, also tested the module and the center coils skip out sometimes...once the module gets hot
still trying to figure out why it would drag oil with it, but apparently it does
I was told not tothe use closed loop idle, the lope of a performance cam will screw with it...are you sure you aren't seeing smoke from a rich condition? Raise the rpm in which the xfi will start correcting and then tune the idle. Even turbo tweak chips do this once they adjust the 1stit time.
this was it!!!
used the fel-pro blue viton seals, took the valve covers off and they were up in the air, replaced them with the manley full jacketed viton seals and no more smoke. Now if these pop off the guides im going to glue the sob's
sure do,

they looked and worked better than the felpro's?
here is a pic of Manley's

yea,
apparently they grab better and the steel jacket doesnt let the viton stretch out as much.
mind you, these are on champion heads where exhaust seals are neccesary, and at the same time i put your ignition system on so it could be a combination of things

as much as I'd like to take credit for it, I think the seals were what fixed the smoking.

Kidglok, the seals you posted a link for are for guides with a .500 diameter. Were they hard to push on? I have a set of Champions and .530 guide seals are kind of a loose fit and .500 seem impossible to go on. I think I'm going to try gluing mine down. I also have similar smoking issues and my seals ride up the guide as well.
