I just got my motor rebuilt with new pistons, rings, rods, crank, oil pump, water pump. My head was also rebuilt no more than 3k miles ago. I have currently put about 630 miles on the shortblock. Its in its break in process. Ive driven it with care and havent taken it over 3500 rpm's. I have followed the instructions on breaking in the motor. However, i have noticed for the past few days that my oil is starting to smell like gas every time i check it. Why is that? I mean my car always smells like its running rich. My turbo has a blown turbo seal so for that reason i bought an Evo III 16G that i have yet to install. It is just scaring me as to why the gas is getting into the oil. Can anyone help me? What can be causing the oil to smell like gas?
Thanks
Thanks
