Workhorse 350 Smoking

Hello, I have a 350 workhorse that is smoking as soon as you start it. I haven’t had a chance to drive it around for a while yet to see if the smoking stops after it is warmed up. I adjusted the valves. The cart is lifted (maybe stock lift?) and I drained the oil to ensure it wasn’t overfilled. I added a few ounces less than 1.5 quartz back in and it is still smoking but again I haven’t had a chance to run it much and see if it goes away. Before I put a lot of time into it, is there a way to check the valve stem seals to know if they are the issue? Could it just be that I haven’t given it enough time to clear all of the oil out yet? Also, I did compression test it and one cylinder was 160 and the other was 165/170
