Alright guys I have read a lot about how common it is to have fuel in oil in rotaries. I have always had the smell of gas in oil ever since I bought my GSL-SE. For 6 months now I notice that there is no drop in the oil level from the full mark. Car runs great, does not smoke and does not flood. Injectors have been cleaned and the omp is working. But if it is supposed to use a quart or so between oil changes it means I have a quart of fuel in my oil pan :( Can it possibly be because it is constantly running richer? I did swap in a universal O2 sensor and I have the 5/6 ports wired open. I have wondered if it was a side seal but I have 100/105 psi compression. Has anyone noticed a correlation between wiring the ports and fuel dilution?

I would think you would have to be running EXTREMELY rich to to dump a whole lot of fuel in the oil pan, but not sure. For the most part I would think uncombusted fuel would be "exhausted" rather than settled into the pan. Now if you had leaky injectors I would see where it could seep down to the pan.



Anyone else?

i know it sounds a little goofy but this also seems to be a common problem with 3rd gens. I found this website that has some info on it: www.scuderiaciriani.com/rx7/oil.html#CON



Dude, I am perfectly sane and sober. My car never floods and my injectors were flow tested and cleaned about 6 months ago.
