Hi Lee!
Im sorry to say that the more I read on the Digerst List, the more I feel you have a blown Head Gasket, (amout #1&2 carbs troubles).

Try draining 1 min.oil, worth of 'drain time, & plug the engine. Let sit for a day & observe: Vol. colour, taste, smell, feel, etc. That will give you a better understanding of what's INSIDE the engine. 

Lets face it! The first thing you will do in the engine rebuilding (head in this case) is to drain the oil & throw away the filter.
 You sould put in cheap 30 Wt. non- drtergent oil & run to engine temp. & drain IMEDIATLY! to flush out the oils system. Then, to head change or what ever.

Just my 2cents! :>)
