Default b18b1 burns oil assistance needed

alright so i just did a b18b1 swap into my eg. i am burning a ton of oil. like a rediculous amount. its not when im idling though just as i accelerate. I do need a valve adjustment because my valves are loose they make a ticking noise as i drive or even when its just idling. there is a ton of blue tinted smoke coming out of my exhaust and oil in the tip. im thinking the exhaust valves maybe too loose and allowing extra oil by or something because it runs and drives perfectly fine minus the smoke. any ideas would be helpful
thanks

your rings are gone, you will need to price a set of piston rings.

blue smoke = burning oil. more than likely bad rings
black smoke = unburnt fuel
white smoke = burning antifreeze

ek3, make a thread if you need help. as for the OP its a ring problem. search for a new block and mine as well find a head also considering you can find a great running ls/b20 swap for under $400
