Fuel smell in the oil
i bought an 82 motor, it ran, but since buying it and getting ready to change the oil i noticed a strong gas smell in the dipstick, could this be flooding or a cracked block?

If the motor was really flooded anytime before you bought it, or by yourself, that probably caused it. I had the same problem once, just change the oil asap because that fuel thins it out real bad...
