Also there are only two ways that oil can get into the cylinder. Past the rings or down through the valve guides.
If you are getting good compression then it can only be the valve guides.
Fitting a new cylinder/piston/ring set should solve the problem but is a bit of an overkill.
A new set of valve guides, and perhaps new valves would, in my opinion, fix it.
Just my two pennorth.
