I checked the level in my '72 track car and noticed the level is about an inch over full. The car has a tuna can on it already. Is overfilling an acceptable solution to oiling problems on these motors? If so how high over max is too high?
Also... i'm pretty sure the oil smells like gas. This is my first carbed car... can this happen when the engine floods? Or does it mean the rings are bad? Thanks! |

4 qts is good without a can..
Uhh... how old is your oil? Fuel fouled oil can mean overtly rich, and causes ring damage. M |
