944 NA sputters and idles badly after redlining

For once I pulled up to 6500rpm in second, and immideatly after shifting up, the car starts to misfire. I limp home, and are able to start it, but it runs badly, and nearly dies.

When I give it gas it hesitates and appeares as to run on 3 cylinders? I'm no mechanic, not even on a hobby basis, but I unplugged each of the spark plug connectors (didn't have a socket to remove the plugs themselves) and it appears to be an oily residue on the inside of the plug connector, on plug no 1...

Have I killed my engine?
