Question for TP/LTH users, oil smoke @ high RPM?

Sh0velMan

So for as long as I have been without cats on my car, at high rpm (6K+) on throttle close I get some oil smoke.

The video makes it look pretty bad, and it's noticeable for sure, but I'm inclined to think it's not that big of a deal.

It changes a bit with which oil I use, some oils have been much worse, others not as bad as what you see there... This is Mobil 1 0w40.

The engine had been warmed up for around 20 minutes, including some revving, before this video was taken. I don't know if it does it as badly when it is cold, but I won't be revving so high when the engine is cold no matter what, so I guess I'll never know haha.

The question for me is:

A - Valve Seals?
B - Rings?

I know it isn't PCV blow-by as my PCV tubes are clean and dry after the catch cans, checked that first.

Again, it's ALWAYS done this, this is just the first I've asked about it.

Edit: Just to clarify, I specified TP/LTH users because with cats, the oil smoke was never observed, presumably because the cat takes care of it, or something. That's why I called out those with similar setups, because presumably if you have cats, you won't see the smoke.
