How does it run normally? (under 5500 rpms??)

sounds like it might be time for a compression test

A blown piston will eat oil!! I am surprised you did not have to put more oil in than you did!

For 2K I would swap engines too!

its a good idea to check your oil at least once a week. i check mine 2-3 times a day

^^^ Yeah I check mine at least once per hour of driving. Which usually means once a day or once every other day depending on how much I drive that day.

Funny side note: Always put your oil cap back on. Failure to do so will cover your engine bay in oil. That is all. Carry on.

You "checked it" and found a "blown piston"? What exactly does that mean?
