ok i had a problem with my injectors being stuck open. I fixed it. before it got fixed i try many diffrent things and tryed to start the car many times with no luck. it was so bad gas was coming from the down pipe and 02 hosuing. fixed the problem. drove the car may 10miles most. I went to change the oil today and the oil smalled like nothing but gas and it was almost like water....my plan now is to put some cheap oil and filter in let the car idel for 10mins or so and change the oil again to hopefully flash all the gas out. Do you guys think i just killed my motor or do you think i will be ok ?
 
As long as it's not knocking you should be okay (mpr making any other odd noises) it sounds like A.) you're running pig rich and filling your oil with un-burtn fuel

or B.) your motor is worn out as far as rings and seals letting gas get into the oil. Try a better crank venting system first, a good catch can sure beats the stock system. But you need to get a wideband on there and see if you're even running righ to the point of contaminating your oil
 
the injectors were wide open thank to a wire grounding out. a lot of fuel went into the oil from me trying to start it like 20 or so times. if i had realized what happened i would of changed the oil in the parking lot LOL

Fix that and i imagine all will be fine, you may want to flush a bunch of "cheap-o" parts store brand oil through it on the current filter just to rinse any more gas deposits from the block before you put in fresh oil and run it hard ( i would anyway)
 
thats exactly what im doing now i changed the filter as well put a cheap on it was $1.37 im actually waiting for the car to cool now so i change the cheap stuff out for good fresh oil and filter

:thumb: Then you should be good to go!
 
Drive to omaha and we'll see if we can't make that happen :) It's only about 16 - 20 hours depending on how you drive LOL
 
this actually just happened to my copper gst. The car was running too rich, and while tuning it, I started to hear a knock. Thought about the case and im blaming the bearing on me for not thinking about the gas getting mixed with the oil and not doing its job.... :beatentodeath:
 
Yeah id love to drive my car that far. i have doubts if it would make it. ive got to fix a throttle body gasket leak car idels at 3k at a stop light :(
