Didn't start. Cylinders flooded, then the gas went into the oil pan. Been doing that for awhile now. Came out of a shop and drove it for about 75 miles. Wouldn't start. Called the shop. Back and forth with them for a few weeks. Suddenly said its under warranty .Expressed my concern about bringing it back to them and ending up with the same
results. Plus them taking more of my money wasn't going to happen.
A week later more BS. Drove it back to my place, about 4 blocks away. Did the work I put in mentioned at the beginning of this thread. Hasn't started since.

Check the fuel pressure regulator. Pull off the vacuum hose then inspect the port for signs of fuel. Common failure mode is the internal diaphragm ruptures which allows raw fuel to be sucked into the intake.

Agree with this. That much fuel can take the bearings and crank out. I'd change that oil ASAP
