| 100% agree with canyoncarver and jzack. Probably the car wouldn't crank cuz it had fuel in there and the starter motor couldn't crank the engine. Good thing too. Next day, fuel has all drained past rings, and starts up. Anyhow, you can get on to fixing the car and don't bother running it until you do. Since you should know what holes the problems are in...at least you've got that going for you. Check them for fluid before you do anything like balance tests, etc. IMO not necessary as you should already know the holes that are bad. And trying to run this motor knowing all that fluid is pissing in there is not wise. Get it out, then proceed with repair. With that much fuel pissing in to the cylinder, the rings will likely be washed and gasoline will have gone past those rings in to your oil pan. Before starting it up, a little bit of oil in the cylinders will help with compression since those cylinders will be washed. Lastly, you will want to change your oil before you run the car - all that gasoline - well, some of it is now in your oil pan.
