Default 1262's

I actually put new 1262's in, that's what TFS calls for and they matched up well. Just had to do some minor trimming around the water ports. Permatex Ultra Black is also what they call for around the water ports and front and rear in lieu of the gasket.

The consensus is that the oil has to be coming from "up top" and that it isn't a bad ring. It is just the way oil is rather quickly evenly distributed over a brand new plug in just a few minutes of operation at idle, still no smoke ever.
Going to pull the valve cover, check guides and install new umbrella seals just to see if that is it.
