Default Oil control rings

Update on my issue with oil being pushed out the dipstick.

Builder has just said he's found a problem with the oil control rings tension being too weak. Could this be the reason for excessive blowby into the crankcase?

He's ordered a different set of rings this time, hoping that's the fix.
