At least get a "RAC" or egine builder diagnosis before disposing of the vehicle.
Its a bit different from fishing answers on the Internet when a professional physical inspection and testing may help eliminate probable causes to pin point the answer.
Just a suggestion to go forward in the absence of a solution.

What did you gap the rings to? Sounds like either the gaps are too large or you didnt run the engine in properly and have glazed the cylinders.
