turbo-fever Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Car is After only having the car for 4weeks I have noticed the dipstick has blown out on a number of occasions at first I didn't think nothing of it but it keeps happening. I have searched on here and got a number of answers, Firstly could be the piston rings, secondly the pcv valve also maybe the o ring on the dipstick now I know I need to do compression check but won't be done till next week.Also I have 2 pipes coming from the rocker cover which I can only assume went to a catch tank but they now just point down to the floor thing is there bone dry which makes me think there blocked off otherwise there womb be oil coming out of them Anyone got any other ideas or checks ? Not gonna be happy if I have to do a rebuild ! Edited July 25, 2015 by turbo-fever Quote
5e colin Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 or to much backpressure from worn rings / guides Quote
davehart Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I agree with Colin, could well be ringland's going. Quote
Flaminsam Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Could also be a blocked baffle plate in the rocker cover. Quote
turbo-fever Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Compression check sorted 180 psi across all 4 cylinders new o ring on dipstick seems to have sorted it, relief ! Quote
