New Engine Knock

Hey there,

I just got my 1915 turbo build up and running and have put about 50 miles on the engine. I'm running a deep sump, full flow oil filter, external oil cooler, the rockers are adjusted within spec. Within the past four or five miles or so, its started having what almost sounds like a rod knock and its blowing white smoke out the exhaust. My first guess about the white smoke was that it was that the turbo seals were leaking, so I took the wastegate off and it was blowing white smoke from the wastegate hole, which tells me that the oil is burning before the turbo. Ive been driving it easy to break it in and have only got on it maybe twice. I've checked the tolerances for the rockers like six times hoping that could be it.

Does it sound like maybe my bearings AND rings didn't seat correctly and Im going to have to pull the motor down and rebuild it or what? I'm kinda stumped at this point..
