theres a few things that could be causing this. you said you replaced the head gasket a few times, was the head milled? It sounds as thought the head may be warped and your head gasket isn't sealing correctly. If thats not the case then you have bad rings, you should do a compression test as well as a leak down test and see what you come up with. If you check the FAQ section I believe it shows how to do both and theres a compression calculator in there so you can see where your car should be at. If i'm not mistaken the compression number should be somewhere in the 190-200 range

^^^ 190-200 is a bit high for a single cam but everything else i agree.
