If it's white smoke, it may be the Transmission Modulator, with it leaking, intake will draw transmission fluid through engine.

I agree with txgreasemonkey, who did your ring and valve job?

How thorough was either job done?
If valve guide clearance and/or piston to bore clearance is excessive, you won't get a good result.
Also, are you certain that it's oil? A car that is running to rich will smoke very similarly.

Compression test may reveal bad rings. A compressionn test with oil in cylinder can narrow down from bad rings or valves.
What color is the smoke?
