Tear down revealed combustion ring broken in 3 pieces compounded the problem.
Still yielded 7.5+ mpg even with these problems.

Don't despair, we'll talk you off the ledge.

Forgive me if I sound ignorant but were you able to fix this without doing an overhaul?

I knew there was a serious problem and was able to locate by doing a cylinder cut out test.
Damage was clear after teardown. Short block was overhauled, head had been replaced just before we bought it. Cams and valvetrain was in excellent condition and reused, $15,000 and runs great now.
