Is it possible your piston rings are badly worn? If so, (and you are having ignition problems, i.e., a cylinder that skips every now and again) that would allow a lot of unburned fuel to make its way into the crankcase, thereby diluting the oil contained therein. Do a compression check to see if you are within specs.

As for remedies, if your proble, is indeed bad rings there is but one remedy: replace the rings. And since this is a fairly complicated operation, you may as well do a complete rebuild while you're at it. A pain in the neck, I know, but you'll likely never have to do it again...

Good luck to you, and thanks for keeping the old iron running!
