[BFix] Leaking injectors???

[Ken]

OK, I just got a call from my buddy I'm helping swap an 88 5.0L into his EB. The thing has been running good after we got the vacuum line hooked up to the MAP sensor. Last night he went to start it and wouldn't roll over. The old battery he has in it is pretty tired so he tried to start it again and it blew a "heave mist" as he said out the throttle body. On the 3rd try it did start but now ticks like crazy! He pulled some plugs and found them soaked with gas. Further investigations found 7 of the 8 intake push rods are now bent. He has rechecked his timing and it is OK. He is thinking the injectors may be leaking and filling the cylinder with gas. Could this bend a push rod? One other note. He *thinks* he may have left the key in the run position after the engine stalled out on him earlier in the day. Would that allow the pump to keep building pressure at all? 
 
 
TIA for any suggestions on where to look next.
 
Ken
