Hello again, ever body! Hey, I just changed the oil in my '44 "A" after fixing a flat. (Re: Farmall Upkeep, the ongoing saga.)

I can posit a cracked head or block against the cylinder walls or valves. Oil is more viscous than gasoline and so gas might migrate through a crack where oil doesn't do so well.

I was just wondering if anyone else has come across this smell when it was other than someone accidentally pouring fuel into the oil filler tube? As always, I await your sage input. I am a row of ripe corn. CSD
