oil blowing out dipstick
Allright fellas please help a brother out ran boat today up to half throttle fine kick it in the but and dipstick blows out and oil everywhere???????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !
540ci with 1071 bds blowers |
I'd do a compression test, or leakdown test... to find out which cylinder has the hole in the piston.
|
Like stated above do a compression test at the very least and if that doesn't show anything then do a leakdown test.
|
MAN THAT WASNT WHAT I WAS WANTING TO HEAR. Ive been reading and ive found alot of comments about ventilators stopped up? I put dipstick back in and crancked motor back up oil pressure holds good! I ran it back to dock bout 1/3 throttle power seems fine
|
Somehow compression is leaking into the crankcase when you are on it. Some is normal, but if this just started happening then what they said is correct, you need a compression test done to find out if you have a really weak hole, that will be your bad piston.
|
also have seen where people have said that high hp motors with blowers often require a latching mech. of some sort to hold dipstick in
|
Blower motors will push the dipstick out under big boost, but normally it does it from the start. Did this just start to happen or has it always done it?
|
it happened last time i went out to but thought it was a fluke just from checking oil thought didnt put dipstick all the way in. It only comes out about 2 inches. only reason i didnt think it was engine prob is no unusual sounds, good power, temps and pressures good!
|
If you have decent compression numbers then you can add a spring to the end of the dipstick. Use a small hoseclamp to hold the spring in place and then bend the end to wrap around the dipstick. There are also locking dipsticks for a cleaner look.
|
Make sure your exhaust is not going bad,I had a riser start going and this happened must have been getting some water in the cylinders and lowered compression.Fixed exhaust and it never did it again.
