is there any easy way to check the valve stem seals to rule that out. maybe the place i had rebuild it didnt do a good job who knows. is there other things i could try check to see if its somthing else thats making it throw that code?

Have you looked/checked for a vacuum leak. Some of the small coupling hoses were already starting to crack through on our '04. A good leak on one of these or other points can cause many of the symptoms you described.

Don't know the details of the TSB, but suspect some oil fouling on the plugs would be another symptom of leaking stem seals.
