So I'm all set up to do the break in today and I've noticed a bit of a gas smell in the oil. (Lucas, high zinc break in oil, 30 wt)
I feel like it's reasonable to assume that this is due to attempts to get things lined up, primed and close to timed. With everything new from top to bottom I'm thinking maybe the rings aren't sealed quite yet and a bit of gas ran past into the oil.
Fuel pump is new as are the gaskets. Another thought was bad pump diaphragm.
I'm planning on changing it out to a fresh bottle of Lucas but thought I'd check to see if anyone has thoughts.
Thanks all!
