    I want to rule out a few things.:
    1. is the oil and level correct?
    2. Is the engine fully seated (rings to bores)?
    Being the passenger side gets more oil splash from the crankcase. to me it looks night and day from bank to bank and not alternating.
    I like to know that it's not a free fix before going too crazy, it ran right before the trip so I don't think it's a cap or rotor part number issue, this maybe wear and tear but it's not likely to be the cap. I would expect that in a "it ran better before a tune up" situation.

    1. Oil level is good
    2. Rings to bores? I'm NOT about to pull the heads, are you thinking compression check?

    Its running well after the spark plug reset.

    Compression check wouldn't hurt next time the plugs are out.
