having problems with oil/smoke from tailpipe

well my motor has been smoking pretty bad and first thing i thought was valve seals because when i installed the oem valve seals on my supertech guides they seemed like they never sat rite..so i pulled off my header and found that theres quite a bit of oil on the exhaust side of the head.so does anyone know if supertech guides can only b used with supertech seals?or can oem be used as i did?
