Thank you for all your input and options guys. Just stopped by my mechanics shop and talked to him about it as well. Back when I pulled the heads last time and cleaned all the carbon off, I was able to slightly move the pistons back and forth in the cylinders (a "wiggle" would be an exaggerated description) When I told him about this, he said I shouldn't have been able to move the piston around in the bore at all, that the rings had to be bad for that to be able to happen. I am about to set up a catch-can and run that test, just to see, but rather than throw money into buying another tool, I think its time to tear this motor down to have everything checked out again and then re-ring it.
