So I replaced my valve seals and changed my oil. My crankcase is vented to atmo (filters on the valve covers). My question is, should I be smelling a little gas in my oil or not? I'm thinking it's just blow-by when the engine is cold especially since I don't pull any vacuum on the crankcase. Am I on the right track?

its prob blow by pass the rings...its never good to have gas in your oil tho. maybe try turning down boost a lil bit? could be an injector leaking/bad injector o-ring too

i normally run low boost (6 psi) and occasionally hi boost (about 13psi). My compression is good too. I only smell a tiny bit of gas in the oil but then again it might be residual fumes since I just replaced my valve seals.

long as you dont see/smell the gas on the dip stick or the oil level go up i wouldn't worry about it

To rich will allow fuel to get into oil
becareful it can lead to spun bearings

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
Good to know, thanks. My AFR stays around 11.0 at WOT but I have had instances where it got below 10.0.

11.0 afr is pig rich for 7psi. I shoot for 11.5-11.7 for under 10 psi. 10-14 around 11.5-11.3 and 15+ psi 11.2-11.0 afr
you can easily be to rich just as you can be to lean and hurt a setup. Its not always about the whole saying it doesnt gain that much more if i richen it up, its the fact that your safer for bearings/oil being a little leaner
something to think about on E85 your oil stays clean unlike gas where it gets past the rings
