You MUST have a leak.. I mean, even if your rings are almost not even there, and the valve seals are almost non existent, you'd more than just foul 1 plug.
What kind of RPM's were you at when you were doing the 600 miles?? I've noticed on my car, if I run it at higher RPMs for longer periods of time, I eat oil quite astonishingly... I mean, at a rate of a half a quart per 500miles, but NO WHERE Near 4qts in 600 miles...
And you're sure that there are no holes in your oil pan, or the oil pan seal?? No puddles under the car??

my number 8 cyl sparkplug is getting fouled and covered with oil. When the plug is clean I have no loss in power at all.

So I guess I'm just trying to look at the brightside of this situation. But it still really SUCKS A$$

Think of it like this.. You'll have a bulletproof engine, that far outperforms your previous engine. It will most likely last a lot longer than 22k miles.. You'll have the performance you're looking for, and unfortunately, you suffer for a little while.. Take the good w/ the bad...
