Could be a valve seal. If that doesnt fix it then you could have the rings in wrong OR your piston doesnt match the hole.
I had the same problem once, oil would literally drip out of my exhaust port. It was a mis match between jug and piston, my own stupid fault.

Had a buddy do a top end on an evo last year, same problem. It was a broken ring.

Found the problem, my mistake :-( the second compression ring was install upside down so the ring does'nt scrape the oil down.
