Default SHE CAME BACK TO LIFE TODAY!!!!!!!!

I finally got my Turbs to start up today after changing the oil and putting back my original metering head after swaping it for my spare one. I brought this up in another topic (GOT A SLIGHT PROBLEM!!!!!!BIT OF A STORY).last weekend i changed my metering head for my spare one and basically this one majorly overfuelled and drowned the pistons. I could see from where my car has been parked on my drive it had leaked some fuel mixed with oil but this came from the front of the car. When i changed the oil today i could see it had been leaking from the crankshaft oil seal, alternator pulley end.I have a 6 litre oil container and when i drained the oil it came out like WATER i could not belive it as it came out it slightly over filled my oil container. So this means that it must have taken at least 2 litres of fuel where as the engine takes just under 4 litres of oil. So now im well chuffed that shes up and running again
