Default Gas in Oil



Yeah, I have gas in my oil and it smells, there are many solutions we can think of cracked gasket, cracked cylyinder, not enough spark on ignition. Anyone have any clues why? I am losing horse power and my torque is shot.</P>


Also when I first start my car it shakes rattles and rolls think it could be a fuel filter that just needs to be replaced or need higher pounds per hour fuel injectors?</P>

if there is gas in the crankcase your rings could be goin bad. try this-do aleakdown test (there should be no more than 20% leakage).if it is more than that, open up the crankcase oil fill cap and listen inside the crankcase for a hissing. if you hear a hissing, your rings are probably going bad. </P>

Yeah I am thinking the piston rings or a cracked head.....Oh god I don't want to spend any more money. Because it was a point to where the oil was runny like water. That thin.

What year mustang and what size engine do you have? Perhaps you would be better off buying a whole new engine and using your old as something to build up and tinker around with.... In most cases buying a whole new engine and putting it in is cheaper then replacing bottom end components.</P>


Plus if it were me i WOULD buy a new/rebuilt engine for it and build up the old and swap them when your ready<IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0"> </P>
