Default unknown intake problem

i have a 1989 s10 blazer 4.3l 4x4 and its been giving me trouble from day 1 but until now all problems have been easy fixes i just did the head gaskets in this truck and now fuel isent getting from the intake into the cylinders for some reason its just pooling up in the intake and some how getting into the oil and i just did the head and intake gaskets and now me and my friends are stumped as to why it seems to be dumping enough gas for 2 cars into the intake put the spark plugs are dry pull out the dip stick and its covered in not oil but gas in fact from looking at the dip stick there is no oil in the motor but i put oil in it after i did the gaskets anyone know what could be wrong

Did you put the poppets in properly when you put it all back together?

Having that much gas in your oil pan/ oil is not good. I would not try to turn it over until you check the poppets, and before you try to run it, change your oil and filter, and once it runs, I personally would change the oil again.

Sounds like the typical CPI leak. Nut kit probably... Good thing we have a plethora of info here on this problem. Search...

in 89 gm never put the cpi version in until 92. so its throttle body injected. the only thing that would cause pooling of fuel of that quantity and plugs as dry as can be is either leaving rags by accident in the intake ports in the heads or not putting the push rods back in. but that would of been obvious. dont ya think. ??
