Default contaminated oil issue

i had a bad fuel pressure regulator(leaking into crankcase) and found about 2 gallons of fuel in the engine oil,, would having that much fuel in the oil cause the vehicle to not start??? im waiting for oil and filter to be deliverd

I think it would make quite a mess out the breather lines, and the pistons slapping oil cant be good either.

I dont know what the problem is yet on mine, but it started sputtering the other day, and I tested the pressure and failed today, oil is overfull... And mine barely starts now and runs terrible. Shes finished with this engine.

Wallace, I would think the oil would be really thin with that much gas in it. The lifters would probably collapse and keep it from starting. The valves couldn't open and close properly. They should recharge after you get good oil in there, probably take a while tho.
