Do you have a compression tester? With that you can tell whether it is the rings or valves. Check the base compression, but a couple shots of oil in the cylinder. If the compression increases for a few pulls, it's your rings, if not, it's the valves. Although in my mind, if I am in there to work on valves, I replace the rings too while I have it apart. Takes care of both problems.
