For the oil to foul out off the plugs, the rings must be really broken. How many plugs doing this? Also, your valve seals must have been shot to hell. If it's me, I'll swap in another engine to save time and money. Nowaday, a stock EF engine can be have for $150. Swap it in is just a breeze.
wow that must be really bad then lol its funny how it happened so fast though i only had it running for a month?

thats what im thinking is gonna be the best option!
That is one of the signs of valve seals. I agree with the rings. you have compression actually leaking out and making pressure build up and blowout out through the valve cover. Just go to the junkyard, you can find a whole 1.6 motor for cheap. replace the valve seals and throw that back onto a new block
The problem with engine from junkyard is that you might not get lucky and there might be a lot more wrong with it than anticipated and cost you even more. I just changed my piston rings couple weeks ago on my D15B2 with MPFI swap and i it costed me $170CDN in total (not including my labour). I love it now, it doesn't take any oil anymore.
