Procharger makes boost but oil shoots out of dipstick tube .. How can I fix?

COBRA21 · 02-18-2003

Curious if anyone else with a procharger has this problem. When blower is making boost oil shoots out of the dipstick tube. Any suggestions on how to fix it??

Rings are gone, or a blown head gasket.

its not a h/g. give us more detail year of car, miles, amount of boost. any vents in the valvecovers?

On a high compression high hp motor I've seen it blow the dipstick tube out due to a blown head gasket.

he would have water issues if it were a h/g.

Not always. You can blow the gasket in between the cylinders. Or maybe the water is something he hasn't noticed yet. We're are going off very little information here.

my car is a 95 GT, 103k miles, 6# of boost, trick flow heads, and i have a breather on the oil fill spout.

i would have a compression check done.

I Agree

The thought here being that we are pressurizing the crankcase, I would go with a leak down test, rather than a compression test, or maybe do both. The leakdown will definitely tell you if anything is getting past the rings.
If all reads OK you may want to think about a thermactor valve to the collectors or maybe a Peterson Fluid Systems breather set-up to bleed off the pressure.

I agree a leakdown will tell you more about the rings and/or valve seats.

Do you have one way check valves in the vacuum system? Is the pcv valve sealing properly? You could be pressurizing the crankcase through the pcv valve.

another thing that happens is that when the car is just idling, smoke pours out of the breather on the oil fill spout. Is this a sign of my rings being shot??

You probably need to replum the PCV. The boost is holding it shut, letting the crankcase pressurize.

nestle_2000 · 02-21-2003

Isn't boost supposed to shut the PCV? Or else the boost will pressurize the crankcase anyways. Leakdown test needs to be done for sure.

I think you have bad rings because rings and head
gaskets go after 100K in alot of cases.A compression
check will tell the tail.
