Yep, I hate to be the bearer of bad news as well, I definately agree with the others in that it sounds like ur piston and sleeve are definately toast!! Whenever symptons such as these occur, it is a definatel tell-tale sign of piston and sleeve that are on their way "southward" for lack of a better terms(s)....
