Default Fully Built ek need help!

hey guyz I have a built b18c1 engine in my ek and the motor has been broken in properly at 3000 miles and i get alot of blueish/white smoke from my tail pipe any ideas?

does it smoke as soon as you start it up after sitting for few hours? And then it goes away after it warms up idleing?

And smokes really bad once you get on it?
then it's prolly your vavle seals. You compression seems fine so I don't think anything is blown.
