I don't think it is a ring issue because it runs so well and has had consistent oil changes.

Is there something that could be missed or reversed during the AOS replacement that could cause this?
You bet, the AOS is the only source of crankcase vacuum, normally about 5 inches of water in level. I would revisit the AOS install before larger problems start.
