Running the piss out of it could of lowered the percentage to 3%.

You don't know if it was higher than 3%.

Drives you nuts, doesn't it.

Yes, absolutely driving me nuts without a doubt!

Now I have to figure out where the heck the gas is coming from. Too much idleing. I don't idle. I cruise at 2500 - 3000 rpm's and wake board/tube at the same rpm's 90% of the time. And I had no gas in the oil the first two seasons with first the stock engine and then with cam and heads. Too rich A/F, again I don't think so since other than the initial break in (where only 2700 - 3000 rpm's were at 11.5 and the rest was 12's and mostly above that) the A/F recal has since been in the low 12's to low 13's? And this is a NA engine not a supercharged engine though I did have it built with ring gaps that would tolerate supercharging in the future.

One suggestion offered is that may be my rings did not seat in do to fuel washing the cylinder walls during breakin. I plan to do a leak down test to see if they are seated properly.

Any other suggestions? I am soliciting! I will move this effort to a new thread. Thanks for everyones time.

I know what I need now. A %gas in the oil gage. Anyone know where I can get one?

You are running a 1/2 ounce of gas per quart of oil.

Rage

At that amount can you smell its presence on a dip stick? i'd like to avoid having to run an oil analysis after every weekend running.

Bill, just a thought.....try another lab. At your next oil change draw two samples and ship to two different labs and then compare notes.

If you can't fix it use a double ester oil like Motul 15W-50 that does not mix with the gas and keeps it's oil interity.

You can try this oil too.........

This will help protect with fuel dilution.

For the dead of summer it would probably be ok (just make sure the oil is good and warm before you start running full throttle), but I would think it would be a bit heavy at startup in the spring and fall.

Even though the initial viscosity is pretty thick, that straight 60 has a cold pour point of -33 degrees. It should be fine pretty much all year round. But Minx is right about making sure its warmed up before getting on it.
