I am not sure if this will help you but for what it is worth here are my suggestions.
Your pistons look fine, I think the issue is totally to do with the way you have the gaps positioned.
The top oil ring gap being lined up with the piston gap gives a hole for the oil to come straight through !
In my view it renders the bottom oil rig useless.
Personally I would reposition the rings using the 1/3 positioning and avoid any gaps being near the piston split.
I believe that will cure the problem.
On oil may I suggest initially using a cheap straight mineral oil - your rings will then bed in quicker, then after two hundred miles or so put in your oil of choice.
Good luck.
