^^ hmmm...



Hamhead: is there oil getting into your head or is that clogged? the PCV should be venting blowby back into the intake. But for some reason it's not. Take off your valve cover and find out what the problem is. Your oil spout should not be the path of least resistance. The PCV should.

 

try this:

take out the PCV valve and replace it with a fitting. smile.gif

 

^^did that last oil change

 

i see

in the first picture, your PCV line is connected to the manifold.

If you replaced the PCV with the fitting, that's the cause.

The PCV only works as a one way line which means that blow-by must flow only from the head to the manifold not the other way around.

Now, you have a fitting instead of the PCV, and the fitting will see the positive pressure/boost and let the pressurized air flows to the head and pressurize the head way much. the only way out is the dip stick or the turbo itself.

 

My PCV is atmo-dumped, and I have very little oil coming out if it that I can see anyway. I'm not losing any oil either, focus on Supercow's car not mine. cool.gif While the PCV is path of least resistance it looked to me as though it was either oil cap or farther forwards. We know its the dipstick now so thats irrelevant anyway.

As nate said, the PCV is a special type of fitting that only vents when it sees pressure on the inside as I understand it. If you are running a straight through fitting then you are pressurizing the crankcase with boost.

Since this problem comes on when your "boosting" then that seems like the logical fix to me.

 

come one guys, I really don't wanna come off sounding like a jerk but READ THE POST!!! lmao.gif I described the current setup with the pcv 3 times in the first post. yes i replaced the pcv with a fitting but I plugged the manifold and now it's just a hose run to the ground. In the first pic the pcv is not hooked up to the manifold. The hose is mearly run down with a screw shoved in the end, simply thought it looked better than just a stubby piece of hose with a screw in it.

edit: btw, I thought that the pcv allows suction out of the manifold but no pressure in. So it's closed when your accelerating but opens under vac conditions. I actually tested the pcv when I removed it and it operated in exactly this way but I decided to ditch it for just the fitting anyways since I knew it wouldn't drain unless I swaped it out.

 

Well if its not that its usually a dead ring.

Hence, compression check. If when you pull the plugs for the check and they have oil on them, your prob gonna find that you have a dead ring.

 

ugh hope not, I've been plaining on doing a comp check. but haven't yet, I should be able to devote most of this next sat. to the tib. I'll check it out then. I'm really thinking it was just the backing out up ahill and boosting and high rpm that forced the oil out. The more I think about it that makes alot of sense and the smell that it made really didn't smell the same as burnt clutch it was much more a burnt oil but I haven't burnt clutch in a long time. I'm going to do the comp check anyways though just to see how the tib is doing.

Thanks guys!

 

remember that air is allowed to go both ways through the breather... hook up the PCV correctly and put a breather filter on the breather to allow it to take in normal pressure air. Plug the breather tube so it is not used from the Y pipe.

 

just found this article on pcv, little different than what I thought it was, but still pretty similiar.
