I suspect I had the same problem, even drove pretty well for 7 cylinders with no noise and only made slight noise putting it on the trailer to take it for a rebuild, but used alot of oil...engine hasn't been taken apart yet so I don't know for sure...
I had oil in the intake also...
No procharger though

My stock #7 piston in looked like that also except it's NA. Top of the piston was fine but the two lower ring lands were both cracked. Same deal oil in the intake both manifold and cold air. The day I saw the oil dripping out of the air filter at the autox I was like fxxk that can't be good.
