Well 2 years later I'm still having the same issue. Dipstick pops out randomly and sprays oil everywhere. Ive had 2 new instake manifold gaskets installed, both did nothing, had a new intake manifold installed did nothing, new supercharger wastegate... still nothing. Now I just received a brand new engine from GM and it STILL DOES IT... any thoughts?

Thanks,
Burst

 

Its 1 of three things.....clogged pcv hose, engine has the old style intake manifold gasket, or has bad rings, and/or cracked or broken pistons.

High crankcase pressure is whats causing the dipstick to blow.

look on the bottom of your oil cap, does it have milky white oily residue?


Mine did the exact same thing, ended up having cracked piston #4, also collapsed the rings on that piston and also the rings on piston #1.

But in my case it was blowing the dipstick out everytime i would be on the gas hard!

Could the replacement engine have the older style intake manifold gasket instead of the new one?

 

Its a brand new engine, still has the sticker on it so its nothing internal, Im assuming they used the intake manifold on the old motor on this one, but the old motor just had a brand new intake manifold installed. Maybe the tube? anyone have a picture of this said pcv hose?


Im sure they installted the correct gasket, if not who knows.

 

Mine popped the dipstick out as well, but my rings in #4 were grenaded. Check your plugs, look on the bottom for oil. You can try getting an Oil Breather Cap.. That'll stop that dipstick from popping.

 

seeing its a brand new motor i can't see it being grenaded already.

I am assuming you used the original dipstick.

Put a fatter o-ring on it.

and do what everyone said to do too.

 

I tryed that as well, never helped...if its only occasionally I wouldnt worry to much, however if it happend frequently than have it looked at again

pcv hose is the hose that comes from the valve cover, on the passenger side and goes to the intake tube.

hope that helps

 

thanks ill check it... who knows im at a loss right now... im not checking the plugs, theres no point the engine is immaculate its new.

 

Dang.. I stopped mine with the Oil Breather Cap and instead of popping the dipstick it would just send ugly milky white oil out the cap reducing the oil all over my engine bay significantly :P

 

lol this thing is still under warranty it needs to just not happen lol.

 

Doesn't really make sense that a new motor is doing this as the guys that have had issue had piston problems and were running very very small pulleys..

Like quik said its High Crankcase Pressure that is the culprit!

 

Ya but from where... lol, Ill have to pull off the PVC hose and blow thorugh it to see if i can feel anything.

 

Lol.. You good at that huh?? J/p ! let us know.

 

ha we'll see how good I am when i get off of work at 5

on a lighter note, the car drives and feels brand new. Even the clutch feels new, im not sure if they just replaced everything or not.

 

mine still does this as well, i got sick of it poping out and zip tied it down.

and before getting flamed ive checked everything so dont even bother

(Only happened every once and a while not every day so thats why i did this)

 

The new style gasket cured mine. It used to pop out with 10psi on my turbo set up, but now i can push 24 no problem.

 

Maybe there's too much oil in it - just a thought.

 

the oil has been changed about4-5 times during this process so it cant be that, right now the dipstick is just popping out it isnt blowing oil out just yet

 

are you running a stock pully?

 

Put a big hole in your oil cap. thats what I did

 

my engine did this bone stock as well. Put a breather on it and delete the hose to the intake, should be good to go.

 

im running the gm stage 2 atm

 

get a new dipstick, probably worn out rubber seal. had the same issue on my talon, one ebay dipstick later, problem sloved.

 

Halloween Came Early This Year ?!

 

how do u get ride of the line to the intake?? mean what do u do wit the hose?
