How hard has the engine been driven? It really needs a load on it and needs to be driven fairly hard. People tend to baby these engines and that is not a good procedure to get everything broken in on a new engine.

There was a produce on the market a few years ago, don't remember the name, something about ring sealing. Anyway, used it in a older (mid-60s) pickup and it seemed to help. But, first you need to do a little checking to be sure the correct parts are on the engine to allow it to vent properly, and get some good hard miles on it.
