At this point it really sounds like bad rings on one or more pistons. I
think you should start by doing a compression check. I would bet that at
least one of the cylinders is below 90psi.
If the compression test comes out ok, another possibility is that a valve is
sticking. Not quite sure how I would go about checking that.
