I figured it was because the car has been just sitting for so long and constantly cranking the engine. So i drained the oil and put like 2 quarts into the engine to fully drain it. Replaced oil filter and cleaned up all of the spark plugs (they were black but i replaced them right before my car wouldnt start). After i refilled the oil and started the car (after a few cranks) I test drive it and it runs really ****ty like it misfires. Pulled over and there was smoke coming from the back of the engine and again the level of the dipstick is higher and hella smells like gas. What could it be and what should i check??
Hi I got gas in my oil before so I changed my fuel injectors change my O2 sensor in case it was getting a fault reading change my oil filter started up went about 4 MI and the oil pan is full of gas again what could it be it can't be stuck injector stuck open cuz I changed them didn't go in enough miles for the truck to give me a reading 1999 Ford f 350 super duty 6.8 10 cylinder appreciate any help locked up before change the oil and it started right up so I'm pretty sure to do the same I just got to find the problem

So it seems you have a Ford truck, but are looking for advice on a late 1990s Nissan Maxima forum ?

Yeah I have the 1999 Ford F350 V10 6.8 l I didn't know where to put my message before so it ended up in the wrong place let me start from the beginning I blew a plug kind of spark plug and put another one in you know when some guy I thought he drilled too far in and put a hole in the piston took a scope down there I didn't see nothing partner didn't see nothing I did it compression test and it seemed to be fine then I went about 14 miles my oil tank was full of gas so I changed all my injectors on my injectors got a new O2 sensor refilled it with oil you know the filter that works and I went out and drove it about 5 miles same thing wants to lock up on me 5 miles that's it I'm wondering could something be telling me EMC if it's running too rich to keep the injectors open or could be the fuel pump fuel pressure regulator I don't know sure need help cuz it's not running and I need to go places thank you

Attn William Perry.

This forum is NOT for Ford trucks.

This forum IS about repair and maintenance of
1995 to 1999 Nissan Maximas.

You need to find a Ford Truck forum.
They will be able to give specific advice.

I have general mechanical knowledge.

I would guess that there is a hole or crack in that piston.

a bore scope is one test.

what you really need is a leak down and compression test. It will probably indicate that any pressure in the cylinder goes into the oil pan. Also that there is close to 0 compression in that cylinder. You most likely need to replace that piston. That the minimum it needs.
you might consider a rebuilt engine.

You are in way over your head. My advice is to take to an experienced and knowledgeable mechanic. If you have AAA, they can refer you to an AAA authorized mechanic, and you'll get 10% off the repair bill too.
