When all that has been checked there is another condition that will cause oil on the spark plug threads. Its oil leaking past the valve guide seals. All of my V8's had this problem of oil on the threads until I changed the seals. The oil is making its way from inside the engine to the plugs. My consumption before replacing the seals was on the order of 1 quart every 1-2k miles. After replacement zero consumption and the pluds dried up.
