its highly unlikely its the valve seals. before i pulled my engine it had over 240K miles on it and the valve seals were still fine. i think its probably just the rings havent fully seated yet.

I hope so. I'll have to further investigate that. I would definetly help if you find out , if your car is still burning/using oil. If it's not than I don't have to worry about the head gasket.
Thanks
