I doubt the rings are bad, these are very durable engines. Some blowby is normal and if there is a sudden release of pressure when you pull the dipstick as you imply then the crankcase vent is surely blocked somewhere. Even if the rings where shot and blowby was present it would never build up pressure on a properly vented crankcase. I am assuming that after the intial whoosh at the dipstick the pressure is released and does not continue to blowout.
