Weird Noise How Screwed Am I?
The ignition coils and spark plugs are absolutely dripping with burnt, metal-filled oil. Inside the ignition coils there was a gelatinous substance I had to scrape out.
Needless to say I won't be cranking it again until that engine has been torn apart.

Valve cover gasket. This is a pretty easy fix. The jelly on the coils is dielectric grease.
