Just like title says i have the zzp phelonic spacer and now im having the dipstick pop out and overall seem to have alot of crankcase pressure with engine running. not blaming the spacer since it seems to have solid seals around where the dipstick pop out issue originated for some people. thinking possibly a leak down to test for bad ring lands? any other input would be nice, this is my DD and cant really have the vehicle down for any amount of time except weekends

 

A compression test is faster and would rule out the mostly likely cause of bad rings/scratched sleeve and it takes all of 15 mins. Can probably rent one for free with a small refundable deposit at ur local auto store.

 

Thanks, I'll comp test instead of leakdown then.
Are there any other ideas as to what else could be causing the abdnormally high crank case pressure?

 

Have you checked the pcv valve? I think there is a cutout on the gasket for it. Maybe you got the gasket in wrong. Just a guess though.

 

Something is cloging that tube that goes from the back of the valve cover to your intake duct?

 

Wtf.... Ure in fort Knox. Why haven't we.Hung out.

 

when you bend the dipstick tube to reline the bolt hole back up you probably bent the top of it out of round
