Those are symptoms of burnt valves, has a compression test been done?

Auto parts stores like Oreilly, autozone, pepboys have loaner tools. You can get a compression gauge to use for free (buy it, use it, return it for refund). You need to make sure you're getting a loaner tool and not a new one off the floor. They don't take the new tools back once used.

How to:

Compression would be the first thing to check because if it is a valve the cylinder head will have to come off.
