Sometimes you can do this engine flush, that eats away the carbon and what not that sometimes keep rings from expanding proper and sometimes will free up the rings allowing them to seal. My mom had it done on her Precidia and seemed to work pretty good she only has 1 bad piston now... the other get about 85-90% compression. I mean worth a shot before the rebuild.

Valve seals break down over time causing oil to leak past at shut down and the oil burns off piston heads till valve stems heat up to seal again. U could try 20-50 w oil till motor finally poops out You have tried all the chemical fixes so it sounds like either rebuild heads or live w/ smoke at start-up. My $0.02
