Default 1641 valve seals

hello everyone,
I looking for some advice on a 16hp vanguard ohv in my 1641. Problem is that is burns oil, I've replaced head gaskets and it will pull 145 psi on my compression gauge. The other day it was running low on oil so I added about a 1/2 quart directly into the fill hole on top of the head. Soon as I started it back up, basically all the oil was pouring directly out the exhaust, smoked up my entire yard. My question is, has anyone ever worn out valve guides on one of these engines, Or just seals from improper valve adjustment?
