Oil? Not coolant?
If "priming" gets you that much oil in the cylinder, you might as well start taking it apart again. Something is SERIOUSLY wrong.
Is there a chance that the oil was there before "priming"--perhaps from dunking the piston in a bucket of oil before cramming it in the cylinder?

I had cheap oil in there before, tried priming with that but forgot about my oil cooler lines and most all of that cheap oil ended up on the floor. I drained the cheap stuff and added true break in oil. Primed at the distributor, All the oil that came out of cylinder 1 was the cheap stuff, so my break in oil didn’t make it to cylinder 1. It was spraying oil, not dripping.
I’m not sure if it’s the head gasket or the oil ring on the piston, I learned a hard lesson here about motor builders. Either a Napa rebuild/ blueprint, or do it myself time permitting.

You’re gonna havta pull that head off. Zero reason for any oil spraying into a cylinder.
Possibly an incorrectly installed or forgotten valve stem seal?

A time-sert is the best way to repair the spark plug threads. Head needs removed, never know maybe like said, he damaged a valve stem seal or who knows if that piston is missing some rings. For what you have already seen I would be doing a teardown. Better to do now then later. Need to show up over there
