Looks like it might be bad rings. The motor has serious sludge issues as well. Infrequent oil changes or low quality oil.

I'm assuming this is a '76 350?

#6 looks like a bad oil ring, evident by the heavy oil deposits in the cylinder ans also the CC on the head.

The other cylinders look pretty normal, as normal as a high mileage engine would look.

By the sludge in the lifter valley, and the other evidence, I would hope this engine is coming out for a little TLC. :yesnod:
