How was the mileage before you changed plugs? Did you leave something disconnected? Did you check the gap on each plug before installing?

Do the replaced plugs have evidence of being fouled by oil? There are oil rings in the pistons. Sometimes these oil rings go bad, especially if the wrong grade of oil is used. This is a know problem with this engine.
