Default petrol in the oil

ERST??? Sold an escort RS Turbo which was incomplete but the engine was pretty much finished. Just needed piping up etc! As far as I knew it was all good as I was looking to finish it myself so for obvious reasons it was done properly anyway!

The guy has phoned me back saying it was struggling to start, then when he removed fuel relay it turned over fine. Eventually he got it to start but he says it flooding the plugs. When he got it running he said there was fuel coming out with oil from the dip stick. I personally have never heard of this but has anyone got an idea of what it could be. I'm trying to get him a new engine now and I'm completely skint. Feel so guilty even though I thought it was all good!
