New spark plugs after OC engine replacement?

My engine was burning a lot of oil when the dealer replaced it. I'm assuming the dealer did not replace the plugs during the engine replacement. Could this have damaged or prematurely worn out the plugs?

I'm replacing my engine belts so I thought I'd do it all at once.

if you know which cylinders were burning oil, i'd change those plugs as they'd be useless. (unless of course you haven't changed the plugs in awhile then I'd just change all 6).

when my engine burned oil it was only the #4 cylinder.. took out that plug and it was toasted. All the other plugs were fine though as I had recently changed all the plugs. So when I got my engine swapped I only changed the spark plug in cylinder #4.

Hmmm, I just had my short block replaced by the dealership.
I gotta check the invoice to see if they changed the plugs.
