did you do the rings yourself ?..did you check to make sure the rings were the right size ?..did you hone the cylinder out before you installed new rings ?..and did you replace the valve guide seals when you did the top end ?..anytime you do a top end job..always replace the valve guide seals..or you will have blow by oil getting into the cylinder. your best bet..take the head back off..check your rings for fit..all of them..oil rings too..while you got it tore down..replace the valve guide seals..never ever skip these..they are very important.

Agree^^^^^ 1million % and make sure you space the ring gaps away from eachother or you will have this issue.

Try to check the compression you might got a wrong ring installed.
