So it appears that I have gas in my oil. I'm not sure exactly why put I am hoping it's an injector related problem and not a ring ordeal. I started the car two days ago and she's throwing a code. I ordered the e-mance deal and when it gets here I'm going to see whats going on. I'm going to drain the oil as soon as I get home Friday and go from there. Any suggestions of things to do or things I'm forgetting? Oh, I had the car running for a few minutes with the intercooler un hooked because I don't have the piping welded yet and I needed to load the car on a trailer. Could that be an issue?

Your either running extremely rich, or you flooded the motor a bunch of times before she finally started. If its neither of those, there must be some blow by... Do a compression check for a rough idea on what is going on.

Well I will do the compression test when I get back this weekend for sure. Assuming the worst and it is blow by, do you know of how I could get my hands on some rings for the 20? I know through searching that internals are hard to come by at a reasonable price.

Thank you so much. I was so pissed when I thought it was the rings that I wanted to give up. Not because the labor and time it takes to install, just the fact I had no idea where to get them. I'm stoked.
