I have a 93 HB 240sx that i had a no start with about a week ago. Found that the injectors were leaking. replaced the worst one but had on more that was leaking. The car drove like crap until i replaced the other bad injector. I know replace one replace all but money was tight so i drove about a week no problems. pay day hits i'm like yes new injectors. get off work to go get em and no start. try cranking the car and got a very strong smell of gas. I also had a buzzing sound coming from the hood which i find was the EGI relay. I thought the fuel pump was toast but no i found that the cylinders were filled with gas. i disabled the pump and pulled the spark plugs and cranked the car to get the gas out of the cylinders which worked well. I went back to the injectors that i replaced earlier and found that i had ripped one of the rings which sucked cause i could not replace it that day (weekend) the spot i get my stuff from was closed till monday and its saturday. Cylinder purged i shut it down and come back with o rings and injectors and car is out of gas oil pan is full of gas and im stuck. Fuel pump fuse out injectors out how does the cylinders fill back up with gas. Do i need a new rail? or am i missing something, please help. Sorry for the book.

Flooding the tops lets gas leak down into the crank case. Compression probably isn't that great, but rings arent always liquid proof when the cylinders are filled with gas.

Drain oil, fill with cheap oil like Kendall or something, run a few minutes and then drain again and do a proper oil filter change.

As far as the leaking, well you have new injectors, o-rings and the pump is working. I do wonder what the fuel pressure is though. Might be time for a new FPR too.
