Be sure to check all your vac lines that were disconnected during process. If you have not done that already.

If you actually cleaned any carbon/sludge/snot from the ports or the rotor faces, it very likely fouled a plug.

Little bits of carbon will do that, and the design of the small plug cavities keeps it all around the electrodes.
