It sure is Don. 
You have some kind of a problem with the rings sealing or a valve seating 
problem. Since you are getting large quantities of blowby, it is probably the 
rings. Could be a gouged cylinder, a broken ring or two, or something else.

Yes, sorry, but you will have disassemble it to see what the problem is. 
Please keep us posted and let us all know.
Good luck.
