Damn, bad rings.  Unless someone more experienced here jumps in I'd say it's time to start planning on pulling the head & cylinder block.

Here is a great guide:

You are going to need new gaskets.  It probably makes sense to just buy a whole new set.

While you're in there you should check your valves & combustion chamber for carbon buildup, and check the condition of your cam chains & tensioners.
