Default piston ring failure!!!!

not sure of the excact cause of this, but some problems the owner had.... green stuff air filter, not mantained with signs of dirt in the intake, banks 6 gun and no egt gauge, and nasty, NASTY engine oil, #1 and #6 both had ring failures, #1 broke top and 2nd rings and most of them were gone, #6 broke the top ring and some how, pieces of it made it up on top of the piston and beat the heck out of the piston and head, #2,3,4,5 all look perfect....
