Default Lots of Smoke

So I need some thoughts here. I have a LS Vtec in my crx and today I was driving and looked behind me and saw a huge cloud of white smoke. It was oil smoke. Got the car home, and heres what I know so far.

seems issue is cylinder #1
Motor was built from top to bottom about 5 years ago, mostly sat driven and started here and there, now starting to drive a lot.

1. car runs fine no miss
2. no idle issue
3. car revs fine
4. blows a lot of smoke when reving
5. only a little smoke at idle
6. 210 lbs of compression and all cylinders are within 20 percent
7. no noises
8. with valve cover off no signs of issues, and head is squeaky clean
9. see oil in throttle body
10. lately did timing belt with gsr water pump and new tensioner
11. timing looks dead on all the way around
12. at tdc pump 60 lbs of air to cylinder no loss, minial leak heard our of intake
13. when air is released can watch oil come into cylinder with flash light
14. plugs are black from running rich
15. oil is good on dipstick no milkly residue

Any thoughts on what to check or what could be wrong I am open to suggestions.

i would check your brake booster. sounds like a seal has gone out and is allowing brake fluid into your engine via vacuum line.

Could be a bad valve stem seal.
