16v Help Needed, Update

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

I filled the crankcase on an old Volvo with so much gas it was leaking out 
the pan seal.  That's what happens when you have a major fuel problem (way 
to much gas) and continue to try to start the car.  The gas gets past the 
rings and into the crankcase.  It doesn't help if the engine is old, worn 
and you have blowby anyway.  Damage?  In your case, I doubt it.  You might 
want to think about squirting some oil in the cylinders, though.  The walls 
have been stripped and may start to rust.
