The worst thing to happen with the oil in the plug holes is a missfire caused by the oil allowing the coil to spark off to the side.

Don't need to worry about the O2 sensors, and she won't be running rich as the oil never enters the combustion chambers.
Thanks for the response. I guess the question now is the cost for this repair? What might I expect labor time to be for a both gaskets to be replaced?
