Heavy crankcase blowbye is generally caused by problems with rings in cylinders, can also be caused by a faulty air compressor running off of the engine if it has one, or from a turbo dumping boost air into the oil return line in the pan.
That is all that I can think of.

Why did previous engine fail? Could be bad intake system allowed dirt into engine, engine overhaul didn't fix intake leak.
