cars do that sometimes when they have blow by issues... run a compression test and hit up a wideband O2.... you might be too rich and your washing your cylinder walls

is it possible that when I did the intake swap that maybe when I put the injectors back on one got stuck open?? Or am I way off?

Sounds like a ring issue to me... When the piston rings get worn down more exhaust gets past them (blow by), and collects in the fuel. I might be wrong, but that's my vote. Injectors might indirectly cause this problem, I'd imagine that if the fuel pressure/rate is increased, that more exhaust would be available to get past the rings and into your oil. Good luck

Do a compression check and check ur fuel pressure.

Change the oil...thats a bad thing. Gasoline cleans oil off of your internals...causes dry starts

+1 for ring issues. Change the oil, compression test, go from there.
