You need to measure the difference between idle, and 2000 RPM. Air filter should be clean, or removed.

Cheap and easy ways to tell if you have good ring seal.

You can do compression check, or a leakdown test too, but either of these tests will point you in the right direction for excessive crankcase pressure.
