are the plugs fouled and misfiring? what's the history on this problem? seems like low mileage for ring failure unless you are not original owner and it was mistreated?

Since cylinder head has been done and redone a few times, guess you would have to look at the oil rings.
When replacing the head, was the intake manifolds soaked with oil?

Btw oil in the exhaust system takes some running time to clear and it could be up to a few hours of running.
