I'm no expert, but if it were my car I would eliminate the possibility of a stuck ring before condemning the engine. Research stuck rings, see what you come up with...

With very high mileage, valve seats in these engines will start to leak oil but I've never heard of the bottom end going. They normally pretty much last forever.

Have you previously tried an Italian tune-up?
