Re: oil and instant fouling

Valve seals only control oil for the stems/guides.

Compression is sealed by the valve face/seats.

If the cam is new, and wasn't installed by you. You may need to check the preload on the lifters. And possibly check that it hasn't lost a lobe.

Refreshed, should generally mean it was re-ringed, re-bearinged, and seals/gaskets. But, not machined. Otherwise it would just be described as resealed.
