Chris,
Back in one of the early threads, you observed some light vertical scoring of a cylinder, and I thought this might be due to an overrich mixture, perhaps washing oil from the cylinders. I don't know if this contributed to the rings not seating or not, but the A/F ratio is something to check/consider.
If the rings don't seat and blowby persists, I would contact CE and/or other reputable engine builders and get their opinions on how best to proceed.
