oily plugs

[tweaked]

Hello Everyone!

I little back story on the truck. She's a 58 Series 1 with a 2.0. About 3 years ago I blew some exhaust valves. At that point I broke the top end down and replaced the valves with new. While she was apart I had the head machined and ordered up all new gaskets. Once buttoned back up she was running well until about a year ago when I started fouling a plug on cylinder 1. It seems to have progressively gotten worse. It would sort of come and go. Fast forward to this past weekend, where we had some unseasonable weather in Rhode Island, I decided to take her out to stretch her legs. I ran down to the beach (5 miles), parked, and when I went to start her back up she was really struggling. I pulled the plugs in the parking lot and noticed they were pretty gunked up. I manged to get back on the road and made it back home without issue. Today I pulled the plugs again and took a few pics (see below). This time cylinder 1 and 2 were pretty much dripping. I'm thinking either bad rings or head gasket. Thoughts? Any help is always appreciated. Thanks- Kyle
