Gas in the oil...WTF

I need some help figuring this out. I was helping my dad with his bronco and it was running poorly and had smokey exhaust. I check the oil and determine its too high. As i drain the oil it looks watery. I feel it then smell and it reeks of gasoline and it doesnt feel like oil at all. It was about an inch and a half over the full mark on the dip stick. What could have caused this? The piston rings should be good since the 289 only has 30k miles on it

ultra-rich-9000 causing gas to work its way past the rings.

Even if there's a problem with the PCV system, that isnt strictly fuel on its own.

>Fuel injection

Kill yourself

Not my car

We have the air fuel ratio target set to 14.6 it was previously 13.5 so it shouldnt be running too rich much less put what seems to be an extra quart or so of gas in the oil

Is it possible that an worn out carb could flood the crank case with gas. The thing used to have a holley on there that was in desperate need of a rebuild before we put in the fitech

fuel pressure regulator, the diaphram gets a hole in it and it leaks into your oil.

I hate this carburetor is good meme. They are shitty in every way possible

>carbs are bad because my computer just works and will never not work

lol see you in 10 years faggot.

...

That must be why formula 1 cars run 4 carburetors, for more power.

you should tell that to pro-stock teams. i bet you think turbo's are better than superchargers too. kek. scrub.

my 70' nova lived to be 289k miles old no rebuilds, just regular maintenance and proper care.

Pro stock teams can't use good FI because they aren't allowed to

>solid state electronics are hard to repair
>injectors are hard to repair/replace

Lol yeah right

You're lucky people still make float springs for your carb.

Understressed engines built to loose tolerance can last through some shit, yeah, but chassis and suspension design was ass, everything was underpowered for its displacement if you wanted to get that mileage out of it, and the tire tech was so lacking that drifting was actually faster at one point.

>implying i've never made my own salvaging from my sons toys.

The thing about EFI is that even though the single most major component is very hard to refurb, it's also pretty much generic so you can grab some from anywhere and even slap in your own ECU. Very easy to replace. I threw car injectors on a bike once. You can also convert EFI cars to carbs if you dare.

But that's with everything upstream of the intake valves. I don't know how well you'd do trying to put corolla injectors in a future GDI civic.

>tire tech lacking
>unbeknownst to him, goodyear made glow in the dark tires in the 1960's.
>epitome of science from which we have only regressed.

>EFI requires computer to tune
>good injectors are expensive as all hell
>SO MANY WIRES
>needs a computer, which can go bad and can never be rebuilt
>makes negligible power gains if any
>carbs can be tuned anywhere anytime with a penny or a screw driver or literally anything else on hand.
>carbed engines don't need a scanner to know what's wrong.
>carbed engines have next to no sensors to wear down and replace
>carbed engines are easier to supercharge
>carbed engines sound retardedly better than EFI
carbs can be bought for the same price as a set of injectors and last twice as long and even after it does fail, there's a ten dollar rebuild kit literally everywhere.
EFI is shit.

You can tune FI with a mobile phone and given the setup, can adjust pretty much every aspect of the fuel, air and timing.

To so blindly turn down EFI in favor of older and inferior technology is simply ignorant. Yes, carbs can be ridiculously easy to work with. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of balancing them and having to deal with ambient air temperatures, pressure and octane, something EFI does on its own, all the time.

They both have their place, appliances with 4 wheels are not the place of carburetors anymore.

Feel free to source a few proofs for
>Good injectors $$$
>Failure rate of ECUs
>Increase or decrease in available power
>Easier to supercharge
Also, you make it sound like a scanner is a bad thing. Why should I have to take all the intake hardware off, remove the carb and strip it down to fix the problem? It's like you want it to be difficult just to cling to your luddite ways.

i can strip a carb in like 4 minutes. i can tune one in about 5. i also don't have to guess at what might be wrong with my engine. because i just know. with carbed engines, i can litterally diagnose running problems by sound and smell alone. can't do that with EFI. i can also set up a car for a supercharger in about 20 minutes. not something you can say for your precious EFI. it's trash. i'll never own anything with an ECU in it because fuck that noise.

carbs are a lost art. They were the shit, until they werent. Insert diesel and/or gas direct injection here.

Most manufacturers held onto carbs for as long as they could. My 01 Japanese V-twin bike is carb'd.

Hey man, I'm not with or against carbs/EFI, but having dealt with both for a long time their nuances are just similar to me. It's just sad to see someone give up on something that works better at the smallest obstacle.

i keep rotary style injection for my diesel truck. also, same. i had a 2000 honda cbr f4 600 and it had 4 carbs.

When the F4i's rolled out in 01, they went to EFI. ditto for my bike, they went to EFI in 03.

Like i said, carbs were the shit, until they werent. OBD2 and such made cars computer controlled and self diagnosing, which puts your trained ear for engines obsolete for many vehicles.

well, i drive a jeep XJ with a 6.2 GM diesel swap so i could get rid of that shit 4.0, a 1976 corvette stingray L82 427 sbc and i've got a 57' panhead. i'll never have need for EFI, i've never had problems i couldn't fix with what i had. i'll also never drive an automatic. auto's are for cripples and pussies.

Removing, cleaning, rebuilding and syncing the tiny carbs on my 250's were such a pain in the ass lol. 32mm carbs can suck my dick.

sooooo.....carb vs FI aside, Fuel in OIl is either cam driven fuel pump diaphragm shot if boosted carb fuel setup, or if in-tank fuel pump, rings/intake mani leak into the valley.

>good year made glow in the dark tires
I keked at the thought of this

...

How could a leaking intake manifold get fuel into the oil

Burnouts must have been a blast!

>early TPMS
nice

......well, now i know what i need to spend my next 5 paychecks finding so i can then burn them in the middle of the night. then proceed to spend the next 3 hours afterward, cleaning the gunk of the back of the vette, then a bath, then wax. overall? worth it.

lol, i just found out that they were made to glow with radium, the same shit that gave those watch making girls cancer. the cloud from that would be pure radioactive particles inhaled directly into our lungs. so, lets do it.

>Radium
Yeah but if you sprinkle radium salts on your food it's all good.

Wasn't it because they were playing with the shit like putting it on their teeth, lips, nails so they glow in the dark

back then we didn't have ez quikkk lube stops every 2 miles, and we had no idea of the potential hazards of not maintaining these beasts until years of neglect and abuse. Those same engines with proper care will outlive our computer box 20x over.

No, modern engines have higher quality parts which old engines just can't compete. a religiously maintained modern shitbox will out last any old engine

>running poorly
>smokey exhaust
>gasoline in oil
>What could have caused this?
Bad injector(s) or shit-tier tuning.

It had a old worn out carb on there it may have caused it

Found the big block 1-ton 'muh chevy' owner.
