So...My car runs great, abosolutely perfect usually.
Starts and warms up in the 24' deg weather here, good heat, great power, fun slides!! But why the HECK do I have so much blow-by? I have a good Cb performance breather set-up. From oil filler, and each head to the breather, and I put a little K&N filter poking out of the breather top to vent it. But MAN alot of oil fumes come out of that thing- enough to leave a little puddle and have some drips of oil running off the breather- on a 40 mile drive....Compresion is great, 145'ish on all 4 and I get hardly any smoke- just a puff when I rev it up and shift- I guess thats valve guides..? But what are some guesses as to why I have so much case pressure? cheeeeers! Bob O (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Man, you want to talk about blowby------let me just say that I have sooo much I had to cut the lines going to the breather and leave the holes open where they are. I even took a hacksaw to my filler neck, whacked of the threads for the oil cap, and clamped a Mr. Gasket shorty carb filter and base to it. After each drive I wipe down the front left corner of my fwd firewall from splooge, then my rear right corner of the aft firewall. I cannot stand it!!!

But the turbo rebuild has begun, yesterday the heads were sent to Len for his black magic----- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Good luck in diagnosing your delimma,,or you can just do like me, say screw it, I am going to rebuild it anyway, and drink some red stripe...
