I think you are looking at a rebuild in your future.
IMO Castrol GTX is crap. I just changed to it for the first time since 1972 when I thought is was crap. Granted my motor is on the verge of needing a rebuild, but since I changed to GTX my plugs are looking much oilier than when I used VR-1. And they are fouling more often.
I would change to VR-1 and do a compression and a leakdown test.
Is there any history on the motor? Any rebuild in it's past? Receipts?
