Also please note that a few years ago ( maybe 4 to 8 I can't recall) there was a ring manufacturer that had there second ring ( yes the oil scraper) marked up the wrong way for proper install.

Yes, it was acting to push oil up into the chamber , not downi into the oil pan!

Is has also happened that builder have just plain installed these rings the wrong way on a customers Pistons ending up with the same result.

If you see oil usage in just 1 or 2 cylinders I have seen conditions more then a few times where the home builder put some pretty good scratches into the cylinder walls on piston install due to on dressed oil rail rings or just plain having one of those pop out on install and the guy just drove the piston home with a big ball peen hammer!
