Driver side spark plugs WTF?
They are about a month old, and only the driver side is like that. The pass is normal..

First thing I'd do is pull codes and see if you get any for O2 sensors (guessing a lean code).
Then I'd pull a compression check on that bank. You're getting oil and a lean condition at the same time, it appears. My WAG (wild ass guess) is a head gasket.

If that ends up being correct, don't forget to order yourself a new o2 sensor along with your head gaskets.

Good Luck!

The Answer: You can not use the rubber End Seals that come with the Fel Pro kit. When you are using milled/decked heads. And its a good idea to use MR. Gasket ultra seal intake gaskets not "stock" fel pro.
