10565, i think im gonna blow up too Posted by cyan, Oct-10-01 02:05 PM i shot oil out of the crankcase today. i had no breather filter or hose on there so my hood took a shitting today as it and my intake are covered in oil. damnit | |

10566, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by eclipsekaiser, Oct-10-01 02:35 PM might want to start saving up for a rebuild. I seem to recall one of your compression readings to be a bit low. I would keep the boost low to prevent costly damages. | |

10567, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by Semperboost, Oct-10-01 03:00 PM No.....that's ok when you boost..cuz remember, all vaccumm lines turn to boost lines including all emission related components. If you get excess oil then its a prob...just run a tube down to the ground . | |

10568, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by dsm1, Oct-10-01 03:00 PM buy a catch can. All it is, is the oil sloshing around and nowhere to go but out of the breather hole. | |

10569, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by cyan, Oct-10-01 03:38 PM are you sure, this has only happened once...today. and i wasnt driving hard, it was a 20 minute commute in traffic, normal boosting, no overrevving or race-like acceleration. id say it was maybe 3 tablespoons of oil. anyone else care to comment? yes my number four cylinder was 160psi compression. and i am saving for the rebuild kit asap. | |

10570, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by Kory, Oct-10-01 03:52 PM cyan, wut compression did u have before and now? | |
|
10571, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by cyan, Oct-11-01 01:51 AM beofre, like i said, 160. now, i havent checked | |

10572, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by JasonESi_T, Oct-11-01 02:02 AM 3 tablespoons of oil is not that big of a deal. Most days I have little to no "blow-by", but some other rare days, I will get more than others. | |
|
10573, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by whodatt1, Oct-11-01 01:53 AM 160 is low I would take it easy for a while untill you have the $$ for the rebuild kit. You might want to do the compression test again and check the numbers over. | |

10574, RE: i think im gonna blow up too Posted by MuRiX, Oct-11-01 03:17 AM our engines under pressure are proven to blow out oil. I have done it many a time. Normal. jus tmake sure it is not ALL of the oil. check your levels and get a catch can. | |
