So my oil is diluted and smells of gas and the car has less than 20 miles on it since i changed the oil. The plugs keep on fouling and when i pull them out of the top left (i think its the leading one) socket the plug has oil on it like crazy. The car blows blue smoke on acceleration and when it idles sometimes. Do i need to rebuild?? It ran okay while it was sitting getting a new clutch and now its having all of these prtoblems when im driving it.. I bought brand new plugs put them in it started fine then the plugs fouled turned black after idleing for less than ten minutes.
anyone have any idea my problem.?

If its blue smoke could be oil seals .... FYI When I flooded one of my cars the top (Trailing) plugs had gassy oil on them... I ran pre-mix and the engine was great

anyone else know anything?
The top ones do have glassy lookign oil i suppose is what thats called? its shiny lookin kinda.

u ran premix all the time???
or like what do u mean?

Oil-fouled plugs, gas-smelling oil, and blue smoke after the engine is at operating temp are all bad signs. You should perform a compression test to verify, but it sounds like you're in rebuildsville.
Other things to consider- are you running an appropriate grade of oil? Are you running suitable plugs? Is your OMP adjusted properly?

Make sure you didn't overfill the crankcase with oil. That's the first thing to check.

Question: does it blow lots of smoke if you take it to high rpms then let off the gas? You probably have worn oil control rings, which require a rebuild to fix. However, in the past I have had success using Lucas Heavy Duty Oil Stabilizer to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of worn control rings. Good luck...

Im running appropriate oil and plugs according to the AZ computer for my oil type. And i have ngk's and densos for it that are for the car soo i guess im running the right plugs. When u say omp u mean the fuel mixture screw on my carb right? its adjusted correctly to a degree.. we tried to adjust it a week or so ago and the problem we ran into is my plugs fouled while we were doing it and it messed it up so basically right now its 3.5 turns out as of right now.

When i did the oil change i put 5.5 qt's of oil as of the haynes manual and put in a new oil filter.. according to the dip stick its overfull tho. I just checked that tho. Should i drain my oil and put new oil in it if so how much??

Also when i was trying to start it today to mess with the timing to see if that would help it flooded again but the leading plugs were dry and fine while the trailing were soaked in gas and i guess oil cuz of the blackhish color.. it almost started with the choke but it died as soon as it started.

That's the issue with the manuals. They list the appropriate information for the later models in the back of the book. You have to look in the appendix area to find the updates for the later models. I also overfilled mine for exactly that reason, and created the oil control issue as a result. As I already mentioned, Lucas helped me out with that so I didn't have to rebuild right away.

Pull the drain plug out, and let a couple quarts drain out, then replace the plug. Add a quart of Lucas and fill it the rest of the way with regular oil. See if that helps. You can go up to two quarts of Lucas if you need to, it won't hurt anything based on my own results. Good luck...
