Um...so yeah...found quite a bit of oil in some of the spark plug holes. Not surprised, but for some reason was numb to the possibility of that shorting out the plugs and causing dead cylinders. Off to purchase a wet/dry vac in the morning and do the soda straw trick to suck all the oil out before I replace the gaskets, which will hopefully be here by Weds.
