Default I am lost!!!

Hi everyone, I hope someone can help!! I just installed a BBC Mark 4 built 588 motor in my boat, first three times out no issues fourth time about 10-15 minutes of use white smoke started pouring from the valve cover breathers- more on the right than the left. Did a compression check and everything it dead on, changed the oil- no water in oil, checked carb power valves not blown. Motor runs and sounds perfect doesn’t skip a beat. I don’t think it’s water reversion because I don’t have a big cam.....what the heck am I missing??
Thank you.
