the engine has 200.000 kilometers on it or about 130.000 miles, are oil control rings very expensive to change!

Are there any other things that should be checked first. by oil control rings. do you mean the side seals of the rotors?
the best way to fix a mystery is to start with the cheapest things first. there has got to be smaller things it might be before tearing down an engine!
