How much oil are you losing? How long has this been happening?

I think that we need some more information about what you have done to the car so far.

You must have pulled the head to do the work. Did you take the head to a machine shop to get the work done? Was the smoking/oil loss happening before you replaced the rings and valve stem seals?

Give us the whole story about the work done on your car.
