Did I wash the rings or do dmg? Well awhile ago.. eh like a few hundred miles ago my 6AL died when I was starting the car and it sat for about a week.. when wired up the stock ignition and fired it up the car wreaked of gas (doh) probably drove it like 5-10 maybe 15 miles not thinking before I changed the oil/filter which wreaked of gas..
(put castrol 20-50 in with lucas stabilizer) now about 100-200 miles later the oil smells again like gas i noticed the engine is shaking at idle im sure i fouled out a plug or 2 plus I got 1-2 wires that are arcing... car still runs like a bat out of hell doesn't smoke idles fine all that mess.. I was just wondering if I trashed anything possibly.. motor only has 3,500 miles on it tops gonna be mad if i gotta tear it down again
I was planning on new plugs all the way around, OTV Msd wires putting my 6aL back on and changing the oil/filter also what weight oil should I be running im thinking 20-50 is a bit thick I Was thinking 10-40 or something?
on the note of everyone hopefully agreeing i didn't to much damage time to order the mach crank/alt UD pulley's so my car will actually charge because i got a bunk *** UD Crank pulley

start with the obvious first...plugs and wires. Then go from there, impossible to really tell with arching wires and fouled plugs but chances are you didnt hurt anything
