Your compression and leakdown tests point to rings. Because of the cost to rebore and install new rings, take a look around for a nice B20 engine. A bit more BHP and probably cost justifyable.

In the meantime, if the oil consumption isn't too great, switch to 20W40 and leave out the snake oil. You might also want to route the oil separator to a catch can and eliminate the PCV valve to stop gumming up the carb.
