Had my dipstick pop out today lucky I pulled over and had a look under bonnet (for another reason)
Still wasn't soon enough to stop oil going drokking every where I'm thinking it's due to to much pressure/rocker Not venting well enough! Any thoughts people? Also any advice on cleaning oil off!
Congratulations to vtecmec for winning May/June's Lude Of The Month, with his DIY Turbo BB1 build.

Apart from checking all the pcv lines that rich made I'm stumped. There must be a blockage somewhere.

That, or blow-by on the pistons? Could be the rings have moved out of alignment?RattyMcClelland wrote: ↑Sun Dec 30, 2018 8:58 pmApart from checking all the pcv lines that rich made I'm stumped. There must be a blockage somewhere.
Do a compression test and see what figures you get back

That was my other thought how likely/possible is it for the rings to move out of alignment?wurlycorner wrote: ↑Tue Jan 01, 2019 1:16 pmThat, or blow-by on the pistons?

If it looks like jobby and smells like jobby it probably is jobby!

On a standard H22 it's very unlikely/never happens.
On a sleeved fresh build? Don't know - no particular reason why it should happen, but whenever things are custom there's always the chance.

I've had this twice . Both on different track days but it was down to me not pushing the dipstick in fully after checking the oil . Had you checked oil level at all ?
