I notice you've removed the mention of smoke when revved from above post - false alarm?
It seems the new piston rings were either the wrong ones or are faulty.
The oil scraper rings are 86.0mm fully extended, not ideal for a 86.0mm bore.
When compared to Saab B207 rings they are all smaller in diameter, damn annoying but hopefully the supplier is going to refund the additional costs involved.
