Kevin;
        That certainly is a disheartening problem.  I would perform a cylinder
leak down test to verify the blow by diagnosis. If blow by is not the
problem running the engine would make matters worse. I would find someone
besides these mechanics to do the test. "Blow by" may be subterfuge for
poor seal installing knowledge.

Good Luck and Drive Safely
