you should have three rings, top ring is the compression ring, second ring seperates the compression ring with the third ring which is the oil ring. check to see if the gaps in all three rings are staggerd if not then you are getting oil blow bye. did you seat your new valves, if not then you may also be getting oil blow bye through the small gap in between the valves and valve seats.

How do you install piston rings?

The DNJ ring spec. information, printed on each compression ring (located next to the piston ring gap), is installed facing the top of the piston for both the top (#1) and middle (#2) compression piston ring slots. The oil control ring can be installed just like any other oil control ring in the bottom (#3) piston ring slot.
