replacing the headgasket is a long arduous process. before you start doing that... where exactly on the block was the string stuff hanging?? front timing chain cover?? below the exhaust manifold??

as for the spark plug holes.... seems like there might be a valve cover leak, or your spark plugs aren't seating correctly. clean out the spark plug holes with carb cleaner or brake cleaner, and blow out all debris before removing the plugs, then blow out all debris before installing plugs. this is very important!! debris on the plug seat or threads could lead to damage! if you don't have an air compressor, you could always use a can of compressed air, or remove the plugs and unplug the injectors and crank the engine to blow everything out.
