Yes, the oil leaking into those spark plug tubes would immediately cause the roughness and misfiring?

Haha. That's what I thought.
Any thoughts on those Durametric readings? Particularly the Cam Position Deviations?

Both banks are way out of spec (+/- 6 degrees), which needs atteniton.

I've just called my garage and asked for an estimate. I'm going to have them install the new spark plug tubes (I don't feel like doing that whole job again, if they're going to be in there anyway.) and fix the Cam Deviations. I may go ahead and get the Cats replaced as well, since I know they're crap.
Also, I keep seeing that +/-6, but the service manual says +/-4.
I just have to tell myself that fixing this stuff is still cheaper than buying a new car.

Would be interesting to know before the actual repair (and invoice), what they are going to do to fix the cam deviations...

If the service manual had been kept up to date, a supplement would tell you that the spec is +/- 6 degrees, the earlier number was a typo.
