Breathers could be clogged

Like most have already said, it could be a couple different causes, or a combination.
Check leadowns. Overfull of oil can create excessive windage, which can create crankcase pressure and pop out a dipstick. Your breathers could be clogged, but this woudl more be a symptom of excessive blowby or windage clogging them with oil. Check them anyway. My engine, 598ci N/A, would pop the dipstick out at 6000rpm, but would not blow a drop of oil out of any of the valve cover breathers. leakdowns at 4% or so. Put a locking dipstick on it and problem solved. Lokar makes a very nice billet locking dipstick, reasonably priced as well. |
if you do not have a lot of leakdown, you need to get the engine to breathe better..had the same issue on mine with procharger, changed to 5/8 hoses off both valve cover to blower intake cured mine totally...
|
What do you have for breathers on the valve covers? There may not be enough crankcase ventilation.

I thought breather in valve cover were there to exhaust pressure from crankcase, not to breath from those valv cover hoses... was I wrong?
|
They both do the same thing, relieve pressure from the crankcase. Sometimes those hoses to the flame arrester just aren't enough. Especially if you increase your cu.in.'s.
|
on prochargers, they run right off the fittings on the valve covers to the the air bell on the supercharger, when mine were 3/8 blew oil out of dipstick...changed the fitting and hosed to 5/8 cured instantly...that pressure has to go somewhere..better blowing the dipstick than the intake end gaskets..which will as well....
