Well i got it running again last night after the HG change. I have a pcv valve with vac hose coming off my VC. Theres a good amount of steam coming out of it. I know it is steam and NOT oil burning.

IS this just from some antifreeze still being in the oil? This is my only guess

You need to drain all the oil overnight. Any good amount of coolant in the oil can quickly trash out the bearings.

Sounds normal to me, unless its like a steamboat?? I know when I drive my car and then come home and remove the oil cap, I get a lil 'steam' comming from the oil filler. You should do another oil change IMO. I know when I blew a head gasket I did 2 oil changes after I had it back together.
