Valve guides too. If the valve guide wear a bit and the valve is rocking in the guide then the seal could be wiped out from it.

 

Sad to say synthetic oils do not promise no wear or seal failures. Kind of like my transmission, its had synthetic oils (Mopar, Valvoline and Mobil) its entire life still manged to eat the hard face out of gears and break teeth off. I'm at 436k miles now...
