Sounds like you have excessive blow-by.
Maybe you burned your piston rings!
This happened to me with my D16Z6 turbo!
Did you do a compression test?

don't run the car until you do a compression test.. probably cyl #3 as in most cases]
smoke at high rpm is acceptable, why i don't run breather filter - it gets clogged up and restricts ventilation. smoke at idle or low rpm is a different story and a sign of worn out seals or worse.

fried pistion rings or cracked pistons, or broken ring lands. All cases are bad and not a easy fix. Happened on two sets of LS pistons i had, now i have a built motor so i dont have to worry.

drive and beat the **** out of it, most likely your going have to bore and hone.

Re: smoke from valve cover breather hole.. (SOHCD16y8)
hehe i want a header for my turbo where can i get one?
i would get AAA then turn the turbo back to 14psi... and accidently
run up a couple of times....
fun stuff there..
then i would call a junk yard for another engine.. and before you put it in,
new pistons, oversizes bores, big connecting rods.. and at least have the head rebuilt so the valves dont leak... then i would run 14 psi all the time!!
even more fun!!
5 o 14 on accident... tee hee - tee hee
