Sounds like you blew the oil seals...Rebuild time!
I wouldn't of even fired up the engine, if it sat for a year. I would of just rebuilt it right away, because it's possible you blew more seals and wrecking more then you should.

I would rebuild and do a large street port.
Is your OMP working correctly? Is that what you meant by oil plugs? The oil injectors?
Rebuild now, so you don't regret it later.
