Rikki 2 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 Please tell me there is a simple solution and not knackered engine. Car has always breathed heavily i changed the standard breather to small filter but this was too messy so used a catch tank worked great at first but now popping stick out again any ideas guys PLEASE Link to post Share on other sites
Russ_vr6 12 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 i would have thought that was too much crank case pressure mate Link to post Share on other sites
gav_113 0 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 yep i would aswell, the dipstick wouldnt pop out unless there was pressure behind it.. think that would be the only reason? Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted January 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 So there is no other pipes that could be blocked or kinked or any other reason??? Link to post Share on other sites
Eat this 2 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 dodgy oil pump can cause heavy breathing but not sure if itl be that bad Link to post Share on other sites
gav_113 0 Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 are u running a charger? if so could it be linked to a prob with that?? u say ur car has always breathed heavy? so maybe there is a internal prob, ie rings etc Link to post Share on other sites
lee060 3 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 double cheak all your breathers are free , all the pipes and valves are clear! any blockages will cause heavy breathing forcing the engine to find another way to breath ie dipstick . failing that , get compression/cylinder leak test done on it . worst is the rings or head gasket .
