Does the oil soak gasket area meet with the fouled plugs, same cylinders?
Idle/stall problems?

Yes, oil soaked seems to match the cylinder. The only time I have any issues is when the plug is so fouled it won't consistently fire. This engine sat for probably 20 years before I put it in. I did not tear it down completely, just new external stuff. I ordered a catch can from LMR as a quick fix for now, lets see what happens.

Has anyone tried Lucas Oil Stabilizer? It says it helps with blowby, but could be snake oil, not sure.

Any "mechanic" in a can that claims it helps blowing is just thick oil , aka motor honey.
we used a plug anti- fouler back in the 70's, it's like today's o2 sensor extentions.

Catch can will do nothing if the oil is being sucked into the cylinder between the intake and head, bad seal on the gasket or miss matched head/intake surface.
