Default Misfire Issue.

I Changed My Spark Plugs/Wires In The Middle Of September and Now I've Got An Issue.

The Car Began To Misfire Recently. When taking off from a standstill, the car will stutter and then resume accelerating normally.

I removed all 8 plugs today(Champion Plugs Gapped @ .40) and the heads of the plugs were coated black. There was liquid oil on Cylinder #7's Spark Plug.

I'm getting 8 New Plugs Tomorrow and Seeing If That Fixes It.

If not, then I'm guessing my rings are toast? If that's the case, how much $ do ring swaps generally run?

Any other ideas/suggestions/comments?

A few questions:
Why are you using champion plugs and why are they gapped at 40? Don't see your mods listed but stock gap is 60

What makes you think rings are bad - are you burning oil?

Get rid of those plugs and get some NGK TR55s and gap them at .45.
Liquid oil on the plugs is a bad sign and can more than likely be bad ringlands.
