From when I heard a whining noise that I thought was a belt/pulley issue - about 7 miles. Which ended up being an air whistle. Then 20 feet once it smoke bombed - shutoff was immediate. But it was doing increase consumption before the AOS went bad too.

Does it smoke excessively? That's a lot of oil to be burning in 5K. Try a compression
test, maybe you have some stuck/broken rings? You can check each plug and see if they are wet. Have to ask the obvious, no puddles underneath?
