Hello again, ever body! Hey, I just changed the oil in my '44 "A" after fixing a flat. (Re: Farmall Upkeep, the ongoing saga.) When I opened the drain valve at the bottom of the crankcase, I could smell gasoline. Is there any other reasonable explanation for the mixing of gas into the oil pan other than some goofball at some point in time (not me this time) accidentally poured gas into the oil filler tube by mistake? I can posit a cracked head or block against the cylinder walls or valves. Oil is more viscous than gasoline and so gas might migrate through a crack where oil doesn't do so well. I can check the plugs for oil, too. I can also do a compression test. I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this smell when it was other than someone accidentally pouring fuel into the oil filler tube? As always, I await your sage input. I am a row of ripe corn. CSD
