Fuel Oil Dilution Problem Finally got my car up and running, Ive put about 500 miles on the new engine.
Im having a problem with fuel oil dilution, the most recent test I did put it around 5%. I am trying to avoid running the engine until I figure out what is causing it. The engine is a 355 with LE2 heads and 228/236 cam. I got a mail order tune done from pcmforless. It does smell like its running rich.
The fuel injectors are the ford red tops.
On a side note, Ive also been battling with idle issues, think I might need to do the tb drill mod.
What should I be looking at to try and figure this out?

Its the stock manifold just opened up in the front for the 58 mm throttle body, and its a professional products tb.
I'll take a look at the compression just to rule out some possibilities, its a pita getting to some of the spark plugs though haha

Could be an injector or injectors leaking. You also want to drill the iac circuit so it matches the stock throttle body, not the blades. You also need to isolate the iac air from plenum air on the back of the throttle body.

When I opened up the throttle body bores on the intake side, I didn't cut very far into the existing iac hole. So it "should" be how it was stock.
