Default Too rich
Yes, if your fuel mixture is too rich, you will wash the cylinder walls with gas, and it will get into the oil. I went through this years ago on a small block chev 383 stroker (used 454 injectors), & ended up rebuilding the top end before I caught it. Doesn't take long to wipe out an engine...
