Blue smoke is burning oil for whatever reason .Did you check the valve stem guides for wear ? Could also be rings worn .

Got to agree with whittingehame blue smoke is definate an oil issue.If you have changed the valves seals etc and the new valves are ground in properly then i would be looking towards the pistons/rings..
