Sounds  like it is time to pull them all out and soak them in FI cleaner for 24  hours.  Then hook up the connectors to 12V and blow them out with some  PSI.  Did that to mine and they work great so far.

Well, just got another call from him and he has all 8 spark plugs out and    turned the key on to push out any fluids that may be in the cylinders and    after only a few cranks he now has gas running out of all 8 spark plug    holes!  This is getting interesting and I'm stuck at work and can't go    look at it.

The pump only runs when the engine is running or    cranking or for a couple of seconds after the key is turned to run - it won't    keep cycling because of a leaking injector.

Well, he just called and said he drained the oil and it has gas in it. He      is going to check his return line and make sure it is not plugged up. It is      all new line except for where it enters the tank. I have a fuel pressure      gage I'm going to take over and see what he has on the Hi-pressure side as      well. 

Oh ya...he now has some new push rods too.

If they did fill up with gas then yep it could bend a rod. If he      left the key in the on position and his injectors are leaking then the pump      would continue to cycle as the pump loses pressure.  In theory it      sounds good but I have never heard of it happening.

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
