Oil on top of the pistons could be leaking valve stem oil seals.
When the engine is shut-off the oil in the head can leak down the valve stems and would sit on the pistons of the cylinders where the valves are open
That would produce some smoke on start up but burn off quickly. I doubt it was cause your intermittent miss fire though.

I bought these off Lockwood they're also on eBay for my import. If you look after 50 mph the increments change. So for some reason on import cars the Speedo doesn't go up in a linear fashion.

My bolt rounded too  The other way to deal with this is time up the engine, remove the cambelt and then loosen the cam carrier so the camshaft can be moved. This'll release the chain.
