Gas in my oil

Well guys I drained my oil today because she is on jack stands right now getting the gas tank replaced and pump and sending unit. When I pulled the plug to drain the oil I could smell the gas right off the bat, was very obvious. I just rebuilt the motor, and this oil has maybe 100 miles on it, just been in there for a little bit of break in time. My question is what would cause this to happen and what can I do to fix it, I do not want to be rebuilding the motor again anytime soon. Also do you think it is to early to switch to Mobil 1 synthetic? One more question I have also is the motor was rebuilt because it had alot of miles on it and was smoking like a pig, so when I fired it up with this new motor and turbo the truck is still blowing blue smoke. Is it possible that there is still oil and stuff in the exhaust and cat that is where the smoke is coming from?

Re: Gas in my oil

rings not seated will let fuel past into the crankcase, running too rich??

If it is blowing smoke still I would check the turbo to be sure the seals are good. This won't help your fuel problem but it is definately a system of smoke. If it is infact the rings did you use a glaze buster to ruff up the cyliders? What rings did you use?

Re: Gas in my oil

The rings are seated fine they were all replaced and put back in the right way. I do not know if it is running to rich because I dont have it running at the moment but when I do I am gonna hook it up to DM and do a few runs with it. Any other ideas?

Re: Gas in my oil

The turbo was rebuilt by Waller 57mm upgrade. I don't see how it could be the rings they are brand new, I got them from the guy who hot tanked and honed the cylinders of the block for me. I don't know what you mean by glaze buster?

Re: Gas in my oil

rings being replaced and seated are two different things, it can take a good amount of miles to seat rings sometimes,

Re: Gas in my oil

Ok so what you are saying is just drive it for now and maybe go with a heavier oil until the rings are seated and just keep an eye on it?

NO figure out why there is gas in the oil first. Do you have a wideband 02 sensor? $300 for a wideband is a lot less than rebuilding your motor again since the gas is washing the oil off the cylinder walls...

Re: Gas in my oil

^^ very true, the rings not being seated was just an idea since the motor was just rebuilt, but you need to eliminate the othe possibilities first.

Re: Gas in my oil

I do not have a wideband O2 nor do I know what one is or how it works. Where can I find out more info on it and how it works? Thanks for the help so far guys.

Re: Gas in my oil

I put a new FPR on it when I did the motor, I just got a stocker from auto zone for now, I was gonna get the AFPR but figured I would spend the money else where for now and then go from there. Could that be the problem maybe it is a POS? Also when I said the motor has 100 miles on it that is a over statement I am going to have to change that after thinking about it maybe 50 tops?

Re: Gas in my oil

Pull the vac line on FPR and run the fuel pump and make sure the new one isn't bad. (Fuel will come out.) Disconnect and plug the line to the canister. Check fuel pressure with a gauge to make sure that FP is not way high due to bad (yes I know it's new) regulator, or a plugged return line. Reset ECM.

As far as the smoke is concerned you could temporarily bypass the cat and muffler. But pull the hose to the IC off the turbo and make sure it's not leaking oil. Note: It's OK to run it that way. If the turbo is pumping oil make sure the drain line is clear. Also try disconnecting the PVC valves.

Re: Gas in my oil

I checked my codes today guys and got a code 45 which is "Check the evaporative charcoal canister and its components for the presence of fuel. Replace the oxygen sensor." But I still do not know where the gas is coming from, could it be caused by this code? I pulled the line going to the FPR and no gas in it. I am lost here and don't want to drive the truck until I get it figured out. Thanks again. Oh and there is still gas in the oil because I drained the oil and replaced with a heavier oil for now and checked it the other day and can smell it on the stick. Plus I drove about 20-25 miles and burnt almost a half tank of gas. Any ideas?
