Default Oil consumption and PCV valve

ok guys ..need some input ...rebuilt the motor during the last summer ....427
1.
Checked the rings and honed and replaced.
Lemans rods ...great shape all good
went to new mild cam and solid lifters
Had heads checked and Valve Guides were good
New Teflon Valve seals ...all good

heres the deal ...seemed to gothrough alot of oil..thought maybe it was just the rings seating and that it would go away eventually

When I rebuilt the engine I did notice quite alot of oil on the back of the valves ...both exhaust and intake...thought that was a little odd since the guides and seals were good.

anyway just took motor back apart for clean up deatiling and paint. Noticed again that there was alot of build up on the back of the valves. Maybe 400 miles on rebulid. Didnt quite understand this again.

Now ....I kinda overlooked the PCV valve ..never touched it ..not sure how long its been on the car. Looked at the valve covers and they dont have any baffles.(not good) alluminum 427 valve covers. see gallery if you like. Now could I be pulling enough oil into the engine through the PCV valve to cause me to burn blue and also go through oil consumption?
Thoughts
Thanks guys
