Valve cover gasket? Sure maybe oil on the threads. A valve cover gasket has no bearing on what gets into the cylinder. With that much oil on the electrode, most likely suspect piston ring seal, or valve stem seals.

I'm putting a freshened head on my son's 318ti M44 right now that looked like that. Blown head gasket in his case.

Doing dry and wet compresión test next week. Hopefully that help me eliminate know if it’s a bottom end problem and it comes out good then leak test.
