Gas in Oil
So I'm getting ready to drop the engine out of a car I just bought to check things out and to do a top end rebuild. As I'm draining the oil I can smell a very strong gas smell, so I gave the oil a whiff and it smelt more like gas than oil. I have never experienced this and am wondering why? Any info would be great and I'm thinking it may tell me more about the condition of the motor. Thanks.

 Sounds like: 1) a CIS system with leaking injectors, or 2) a 69-73 911 w/ Mechanical Injection thats stuck in its warm up cycle, or 3) an EFI system with injectors that are much too big. Either way, its verrrrrrry bad for the bearings & such. Don't let this go too long. Cheers, Len
