sbctruckman,
This happens everytime you do a valve job on a block that has many miles. By getting the valves to seal causes the rings to "give up the fight". With better vacuum because the heads do not leak the rings allow oil to get "sucked" up into the combustion chambers and what you get is a smoker. Sorry Scholman(retired)

If the exhaust valve was hanging open, you'd have a "miss" symptom. Not only that, but if you adjusted the valves all the same way, then all the exhaust valves would be hung open. Then you'd definately know something was wrong. scholman pretty much nailed the cause.

It could also be valve guide seals, worn guides, broken ring.
