oily spark plug threads

I removed the plugs on my newly rebuilt scj. The plugs were dripping with oil only on the threads, the electrodes look clean and whiteish grey. The valve covers aren't leaking I'm just wondering how the oil is getting there. The oil feed to the rocker shaft is restricted, the baffle under the shaft is the early type with the gutters that return oil back through the pushrod area to the valley as well as the front and rear of the heads. valve seals are positive type. Engine lets out a puff of smoke on start up. I'm thinking maybe the valve seal job was bad, What would be the first thing I should look at? The motor has about 300 mi. on it, and it runs good.
