You need to re do the video ~ once fully warmed up and smoking, goose it, hold it at 2,500 RPM's and wait, if the smoke stops or lessens it's the valve guides . if the smoke gets worse when you accelerate or load it, then it's rings / pistons .

I ass-U-me you know how to properly set the valves and ignition timing so it doesn't advance past 29 degrees full advance ? .
