go out when your car is warm {must be ss/sc} pull your oil cap off and feel the air that comes out of it. also, pull your dip stick and check the air volume comming out of there as well.

curiousity is getting to me. i may or may not let you know why i need to know.


thanks!

 

u cant ask for help and not tell why....thinking u have some leakage?

 

sure i can. thats what i do!

you should get some air out... a internal combustion engine is just a big air pump.

 

if your worried about presure build up, the line that goes from your valve cover to your intake is suppose to delete that

i dont notice anything coming out on mine or dipstick

 

all im looking for is someone else to measure it in a sense. i know what is acceptable and what's not. it's a simple request.

 

i got yer back, Area. i'll do this in a bit. havent driven my car in days/weeks so im due to fire it up.

 

i didnt notice anything in mine... i assume thats good

 

is it bad if air is coming out of either

 

depends on who you ask. got some?

 

well the last time i did an oil change i was a tad low so i finished a bottle i had off into it and it started to spray back out so enough air is moving to blow a bit of oil back out of the oil fill hole...never felt the dipstick but will do today

 

also depends on what motor it is, when i worked for the honda dealer, you knew if someone left an oil cap off of a K24 because it made the same sound as an exhaust leak. My 1992 toyota celica would acually blow every single bit of oil out if you left the cap off, but it did have 240,000 thousand miles on it...

 

im getting a general consesus<sp> actually. nothing fancy

 

I have a fair amout of air coming out of mine but what you have to realise is that we have a very small crank case volume and the pistons are moving up and down displacing air in the crancase its really not that big of a deal.

 

oh it can become a huge ordeal if left unchecked.

i was just curious due to my vacuum sitting a bit lower than usual. no biggie.

 

most cars have it. Shouldn't be much. Like someone lightly blowing on your hand in pulses.

 

Area really likes that especially from his blow up doll.

 

if the blow doll blew me. id be at home right now

sadly, she just sits there like she has seen a ghost

 

I assume that means her eyes & mouth are wide open and she is covered in white jello topping.

 

do a leak down on it

i think you can rent them at auto zone

 

the vacuum side of the gauge would show something abnormal is the motor farted

 

thats what mine is doing. felt like someone was tapping upwards on my hand very lightly. it was also blowing a lil oil vapor on my hand. my vacuum at idle is 19in/hg
nothing was coming out of the dipstick, which is good b/c that would probly denote fucked piston rings.
