Default gsr Motor problem need some help

ok so yesterday i was just relocating some wires for my friend under his fenders then cleaning up the bay, well i took the plug wires out and halfway up they were drenched in oil. so i took out the plugs,oil was up to the top of plug when i looked through the valve cover. so i decided to take off the vavlecover everything looked good, so i took off the head, now i looked at the pistons and the first two pistons were covered in oil. I dont know what the problem might be, i think it either might be the head gasket, piston rings or just the valve cover gasket. I really would like to know if any of you have ever experienced this before and what you had to replace. i am trying to figure everything out as we are tryin to get it on the road. I can tell you he did rev it to 9 grand a few times because his ecu was fucked up.. so tell me what that could have made happen.

Sounds like the spark plug tube seals.They are the ones that go into the valvecover and keep oil from dripping out onto the spark plugs...
Install them dry and make sure all the surfaces are clean before you put the valvecover back on...
good luck

yeah change out the grommets for the spark plug holes first and see if that stops the leak
