Tim;
        Pull of the vacuum hose from the fuel pressure regulator. If any
sign of gasoline you need to replace the regulator. A hole in the
diaphram will allow gas to be sucked into air manifold and then flood the
cylinders.
        This condition will wash the oil film off the walls and lead to
excessive ring wear.
Drive Safely & Good Luck
