Default car burns oil only after 20 mins of driving?

at first i thought it was my valves. so i did a mini me and even now after 20 mins of driving i start to burn oil. but its only sometime....like itll burn alot then next 5 mins it quits then it comes back. my compression on my motor is 200 psi across the board. and a brand new rebuilt head. this only happens after 20 mins of driving.

im pretty sure that isnt it. becuase when i swapped out the head the old a6 gasket was in perfect shape. i cleaned up teh block pretty good before putting on the new metal one. and wouldnt that drop my compression?(200 psi)

Adjust the valves, check your PCV valve to see if its clogged
