I have gas going in to oil pan iv changed injector o rings, vac system is good not sure why it is doing this i also have a inline fuel pump hooked into the system is it pushing to much fuel???? or are one of my rings shot? the turbo was jamming due to turbo failure wich was replaced.. could the turbo of damaged my rings??
 
Bad rings is the only way I can think of getting gas into an oil pan. I would do a compression test and see if you have any cylinders that are low and that will give you a more definitive answer.
 
May also have fuel pressure regulator overrun making the fuel injectors spray a higher pressure which would equal to more fuel than necessary causing a rich condition. Does he run an AFPR? What is the fuel pressure? A/F ratio? Still could have ruined the rings with excess fuel in the cylinders.
 
Have you had any no starts lately? Like trying to start the car but it just turns over? Up here in northern Minnesota cars don't like to start when its -20* or colder. Some people will sit there and crank the motor for too long and "flood" the thing. If you do this too much the exact same thing will happen, gas in oil, no matter how good the piston rings are.

Before you even try to start it again be sure to change the oil. You must do this. Any substantial amount of gas mixed with the oil will put every bearing in that motor at risk.
 
Sounds like piston rings are damaged too much fuel, causing a cylinder wash, possibly cant see any other reason. It happened to me before I got my wideband, I was running rich too much fuel.

:applause: I saw a nascar show car from the old company I worked for in which the show personnel would run the car extremely rich on purpose because it "sounded cooler when they started it". Well one day they fired it up to drive in the trailer at a show and BOOM!!! It blew the oil pan and valve covers off.:ohdamn: Made quite a show for everyone around. :tease: Souvenirs for everyone!
 
i have one cylinder thats much lower then the rest of the cylinders im already in search of an engine may have one for a good price already re done and ready to just gotta do the engine swap and away i go.

thanks guys
 
You first need to find out what is causing the engine to over fuel. This sounds more like a problem with an injector leaking thru the inside, or stuck open.
 
What injectors are you using have they been tested lately, my wideband went bad and i had a lot of gas in everything, my car had a bad oil leak, and i used cheap gas during my break in last time, wideband all fixed and ready for another go around, gonna step up to speed density and tune it for e 85 soon. Just did a rebuild all good now, piston rings were stuck inside my pistons all four.
