Hey Guys,
I have oil coming out of both valve cover holes. Passenger valve cover has a pvc valve -hose to a catch can. oil is coming from the grommet area of the PVC. The catch can has hot water in it. The driver side has a oil cap on it. Oil is pressurizing out around the cap. Oil is spraying all over the back of the engine bay coming out of both holes. Oil pan had condensation all over it after shake down drive. My first set up was breather filters in both valve cover holes. Oil comes out in idle Ran car hard up and down a private airplane runway. Car felt strong and just installed new C5 brakes and t56. Please help me |

you need to do a leak down test on your engine FIRST before going any further. If you're shoving that much oil out you've probably got a problem with ring seal. Make sure the engine is healthy first, then work on controlling oil leaks. Fixing an oil seepage problem on an engine with tons of blow-by is a waste of time.
Same for your temperature problem. Sounds like there are lots of issues with your engine. Have someone that KNOWS what they are doing help you with a leak down test on ALL 8 CYLINDERS and go from there. We're all wasting our time if you're trying to work with a junk engine. Just because if "feels strong" to you doesnt mean that it's not junk. |
