I hate to tell Christ thats he's wrong but combustion pressures produce pressure in the crankcase not a vacuum. Oil won't be sucked through the rings into the combustion chamber. Air/fuel is much more easily pulled in through the open intake valve. Pull off your PCV valve at idle and see if it sucks or blows out the hole. 20 bucks says it blows.

If your oil control rings let that much oil in, burning 2 quarts per tank, then you have bigger fish to fry. But they wont let enough in to lock the engine. Thats all I'm trying to get at.
