Seeking Wisdom

Ok. Starting rebuilding my 350 and after tearing the engine down found out that I was going to a 5 week school and shortly after returning I will be moving to Fort Polk, LA. So, I replaced rings, bearings, timing set, and the oil pump, put all back together and put it in the truck. After a rookie mistakes I got her fired up and it sounds amazing. BUT... during my rush to get things put back together before going to school, I didn't do any work to the heads and now after it runs for a little while it begins to smoke on the drivers side only. Which is why I started the rebuild in the first place. Engine was clean inside. No scaring in the cyclinder walls. Bearings were a little wore and the oil pump was weak. But nothing that should make it smoke.

I'm thinking(hoping) that I've got a head problem and hopfully its just a valve seal. I'd be interested in hearing ideas from some of you that have more experience.
