22r question
ok so i put new oil in my 22r, and after a few runs the oil looks thinner and is runny, there is no antifreeze in it and the oil smells like gas....is there somthing wrong with it or is this normal...

Yeah I guess if the rings weren't sealing right you could get some gas by them, but wouldn't that also mean you're dumping gas into the cylinders? Otherwise it seems like if there was the correct amount of gas getting into the cylinders it would burn off before getting down into the oil.
I don't know enough about engines, though. Is it running fine otherwise?

the gas would be pushing past the rings before it gets to the spark, wherever that happens to be set, so it's probably pushing gas down into the crankcase from bottom dead center to approx. 7 degrees btdc. I wonder if it's running rich

ok another thing i forgot to add was....when i first hooked up all the fuel lines on my truck i had them all wrong and i was pouring some gas down the carb to try and make it run...it did for a few secs then stops, so i was maybe thinking there was fuel going places that it shouldent and somehow got into my oil?....im not sure thoe.....and is it bad to run it like that?

ok so i found the problem....the fuel pump was shot....i pulled it off and it was like dripping fuel...so my intsinks told me that dripping fuel was getting in the oil....and that would also be the reason my truck wont stay running at higher rpm...it will go to 5k than die...anytthing below that is fine

Let us know if you're right! Luckily that's an easy thing to replace. Only trick is making sure the "lobe" or whatever it's called on the cam gear is on the low side when you put the new pump in, so you don't have to compress the pump lever to get your bolts to thread. Ask me how I figured that one out.
