No bueno my friend! Time to do a leak down test....pull out all the plugs, one cylinder at a time. If it is the head gasket , in my mind, its wierd it would blow all the way back to the oil passages, usuauly water is the first (closest) to go....but not impossible.

head gasket could have blown out on #4 in the area where the main oil feed to the head is. that could be a good reason for the huge amount of burning oil. unlikely but possible.

Dang I would love to run a loaded inline 6. BUT you know the majority of the answers here, time for the 88TC swap.
