There's a faint smell of gasoline in my oil whenever I check it. Why would tht be? I have a boosted B18B1 with stock internals running 7psi. Walboro fuel pump and 440cc injectors. Any takers?

 

Not sure what to make of it but I have a slight smell as well... I just assumed it was due to the volatile chemicals after gas combustion.

 

let me guess, the car isnt tuned?basemap? Its too rich.Probably washed the rings already.

 

Mine smells the same. it's probably from blowby on a high mileage stock motor. No biggie just change the oil frequently. My LS motor is beaten daily and still pulls strong/starts right up.

 

Actually it's dynotuned on Hondata by a well renowned tuner in my area. The motor has 80k on it and was barely driven and NEVER beaten while it was untuned. Do you still think I washed the rings or could it just be normal blowby?

 

I should also mentioned that it bogs a little when cold on 5% throttle but goes away if you press the pedal more. Also, the distributor sounds like it has a rock bouncing inside of it when it's cold which I'm assuming is caused by a loose rotor. That and both the check engine light and SRS light come on every other time that I drive it but go away if I turn it off and back on.
