1 quart a week is pretty freaking bad. Do you see any oil in the PCV hose? maybe there is too much crank case pressure. If that's not the case, he probably did something wrong with the Ring installation. Like forgot an oil control ring on one of the piston?
or accidentally snapped the ring when he trying to pound the piston, I've done that myself a few times.

Sounds like excessive blow by. Either too much pressure in the crankcase from the combustion chambers or it's not venting properly and I'm surprised your plugs haven't fouled out. Have you checked the pcv valve? I would think worn rings, but if they're new, then possibly the ring gaps weren't staggerred properly, which would suck, but I would definately do a compression check.
