Here's the problem. I got my new radiator installed and was getting the cooling system bled when I noticed that I left the hose from the intake to valve cover nipple unconnected and that a lot of air was exiting the valve cover along with oil trying to leak through the gasket. I expected the worst and open the cap to see a milky color on it. I pulled the valve cover not remembering that I used white lithium grease as an assembly lube and that mixed with Brad Penn oil looks exactly like what I didn't want to see. Engine has a new PCV valve and when I built the engine with a ptw clearance of .004, the standard 85mm piston rings had gaps larger than what I wanted. I contacted Brian at Wiseco and he said I was good to go. Top was at .024 and bottom at .029. Not sure what the issue is but all the threads I find are people having this problem while doing a boost leak test. Idle is around 2k rpm at the moment as I haven't made any adjustments on the new throttle body.

I doubt it's gonna be a bent valve, I lapped, installed, and checked for leaks and everything was perfect. Also "degreed" the cams as the Revolver intake cam was 22* retarted and everything checked out there as well. I'm wondering if it's just blow-by from the rings being new and not broke in yet along with the large gaps. I will do a leak down test tonight but it still seems like it won't tell me much due the engine being new. I just don't want to go break in the engine and have seals blow out.
