Question New member ss/sc stage 2
I'm having a problem when gearing down to pick up speed and flooring it my dipstick pops out and spews oïl all over the engine. Is this a common problem?

This used to be caused by a faulty intake manifold gasket.

How many miles are on the car, and what year is it? High crank case pressure will cause this as well.

Any other mods other than S2?

I'm willing to bet a faulty intake manifold gasket.

This was common on 05-06 SS/SC's. They revised it for 07'.

Thank you Staged07SS. No other mods were done. Is this a costly repair?

You can get one for $15 plus shipping from zzp and do the work yourself. Its simple but time consuming.
