Oil On #2 Spark Plug

I have a forged H/C/I 347 with about 700 miles. I have been having a problem recently with oil getting on #2 spark plug and oily threads on all. I use loctite on my rocker arm bolts, if that matters. I done a cam swap today and changed plugs and will check tomorrow and see if it changes with new plugs and loctite. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hmm? The stock PCV is on that side of the motor, and #2 is the first cylinder on that side. I wonder if that cylinder is just getting the bulk of the oil sucked into the PCV.

I have a catch can if that matters. Would that cause my plug to be oily? How could I fix it?

Having a catch can would mean disregarding my previous post as I am now back to not having a clue what your issue is.

Did you do all the work yourself? Its possibly the valve stem seal, or could be that the cylinder was not hone right or the oil ring failed. (Just throwing out some ideas)

Yes I built it. I have built several other ls1s. I think I have got it figured out. I think it was the rocker arm bolts. I will check tomorrow and report back.
