Very thin/contaminated oil? A friend of mine bought a 97 Z28 M6 car with 89k on it. The car has sat for the last 2 years. Well he hasn't driven the car other than around the house since he hasn't tagged it. He bought a set of longtubes for it and when we pulled the valve covers we noticed the oil felt very thin and I would almost say smelled slightly of gas. Say it is fuel in the oil, what would have caused it? The car runs great doesn't smoke and sound fine. Not even a SES light. There wasn't any build up inside the heads at all but then again I suppose gas would do that. He was considering doing a cam swap and before we tear into it I wanted to make sure we got this problem fixed and all the storys of spun bearings doesn't make us feel any better about it.
