oil smells like gas in 87 22r, possible causes.
ok, im looking into getting an 87 in the next few weeks, and the one that im looking at the oil smells like gasoline,
first few things i thought were, float seat is shot in the carb, and its flooding it severly, or the engine is needing major repair like a rebuild.
what do ya'll think.

i dunno if it helped or not, it just increases my knowledge and barganing power with the guyes,
it isnt my truck,so im apprehensive about buying it, but i figure with the fact that it needs "major" work on the engine,and that fact that it dosnet have a cd player, and some other stuff, i should be able to get it down to a killer price, everyone is scared by the oil i think cause its been there for a while now, im gonna drive it today or tommorow, and then sleep on it for a few days while i think.
i let you know what it was if i get it though.

gas in oil
This happended to my 87 22r in december. I began investigation after the top end started to get loud. Since it had a mechanical fuel pump I gambled on the diaphram leaking into the crankcase oil. I changed pumps, changed oil and drained out 7 qts. The only indication i had was the truck was getting much harder to crank in the morning. Replacing the pump stopped the gas in oil and now i'm hoping i didn't do major damage. The hard to start problem was gone completely and the top end noise went away but i'm sure engine life will be reduced.

yeah, i dont care to much about engine life on this truck if i were to get it, its mostly just got to last me a few months while i build a new engine and get stuff ready for it, but i just want to make sure its not something drastic that i didnt know about the 22r engines that would let a rod go in 3 minutes or something.
