Hey,
I would recommend a leak down test. I doubt that oil is coming from the valve cover. Definitely change the plugs and hope for the best. More than likely it will run good for a few runs and once the plugs become fouled again then it’s going to go back to breaking up.

Yeah, I think he maybe right. The oil looks like it’s dripping down the plug, which would suggest the oil is coming from the cylinder.

the leak down is more for the valves but with that much oil I’d think more of the rings, but I guess it’s also possible to leak down through valves stuck open. The only reason I said the valve cover gasket is because it actually did fill the spark plug hole in my car. But I’m about ready to drive mine off a cliff.

Leak down and a compression test will tell the story of what’s going on with the motor. Worn or damaged rings can be exposed by a leak down too

iridium's don't make anymore power.. or make the car run any better that i can tell.

they just last longer.

and since you dont really know your issue yet, copper plugs are alot cheaper and easer to gap

The EvO9 manual notes the following in PSI (145 max to min 92): Compression pressure (250 r/min) kPa (psi) /1,000 (145) / Minimum 637 (92)
