How was the IMS inspected? No way in hell would I do all the work to remove the transmission, flywheel, remove tensioners, lock the cams and remove the IMS cover and then NOT replace the bearing. You've already done 90%of the job at that point.
If by inspected they mean that it wasn't a nasty goo covered cover so it must be fine, they are kidding themselves. My cover looked perfect.
As to your original question I would say the car was probably wiping out the mosquito population and the plugs were oil fouled. They evidently cleared themselves once the car stopped ingesting oil.
