NO I DON'T THINK IT THE HEADS. just saying if the valve seals are gone on that one cylinder then in stead of replacing the valve seal why not get new ported heads with fresh VALVE SEALS! lol
if the plug is black and wet, smell it no joke. if it smell burnt but not like oil that cylinder is Fouling out, which means you are running too rich(too much fuel)
What he said ^^
Where was the oil if it is oil? on the tip or on the threads? Valve cover gaskets leak all the time down onto the plugs... and when you pull them out you spread the oil farther down the plug. Some people mistake that for oil from inside the cylinder

no its not running rich. its burning really clean.
and the oil was on both the tip and threads but mainly on the threads...

check your gasket, when you swapped parts did the running condition change (better/worse?) if valves seals are the problem i have a full unused set for a 3.9. (i have no need for them)
there ya go get new seals from dargn and some ported heads....im just sayin..

if it runs good and doesnt use more oil than it should i really wouldnt worry about it
did you notice anything was wrong before you took the plugs out?
if it ain't broke dont fix it.
