I'm in the same boat and I'm resigned to the fact I probably need a new engine.
Why would high levels of blow-by cause carry over, strangely enough my car hardly smokes at all....

I wonder how hard it would be to change the rings with the engine in place, seems good access to take off sump....

what would it entail Head Bolts, Gasket, set of rings, re-hone cylinders,,, lots of oil in the face.....
