Paul,
We had a similar issue with a recently rebuilt engine. Short story. The oil
control rings were incorrect for the Corvair piston's slot. Upon being
compressed and piston being put into cylinder, the oil control rings were
stuck in piston ring grooves. Ring grooves were correct. The little nubs or
bumps on inside of the oil spacer/expansion dring (other two are scrapers,
was stuck between scrapers in the groove). Found t his upon pulling pistons
from cylinders..
Ring set was faulty.
