Hmmm, definately seems like bad valve seals or valve guides at the least. Did you see any hardened plastic remnants of the valve seals under the valve covers, or can you see the seals down the valve springs.
The problems is definately internal; either heads or rings. Definately not rebuilt, or at least a very poor one.
Another question is do you have proper ventilation, such a functional breather on one valve cover and a pcv on the other? Also, is there baffle plates underneath each of those on the underside of each valve cover?
