Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
If your oil consumption/burn stays pretty much the same after the catch can install it's prob more likely your problem is valve train related rather than piston rings.
Because if your rings are the issue the catch can should relieve some pressure, which would result in less oil that comes up.
Amsoil uses SAE30 for their engine break in oil. Typical recommendations are just to stick with a single weight non-synthetic, high zdpp, oil for break in. I'm thinking this is an oil ring or cylinder roundness issue because his compression is so inconsistent.

OP, do you have a block blueprint?
