Oil rings seized? Maybe. But if it wasn't making all that smoke before, I wouldn't think that is your problem. Does the smoke have any odor? Be careful checking this! Any oily residue?
Go back over the reassembly and make sure the PCV system and other hose were routed correctly.
You could also have a faulty/damaged cylinder head gasket.

Probably damaged valve seals when installing.
