If its the valve stem seals, the smoke tends to come out when you let off the gas. If its rings the smoke increases with RPM's.

If I were in your shoes, I'd be looking for a Jspec engine imported from Japan. Even though they are used engines, I think they are better than what you would end up with if you rebuilt your engine. Much cheaper way to go too. Take this from someone who has done a Jspec swap, and a couple of rebuilds.
