What does it mean if motor oil is flowing from my pcv ....

[swimshady906]

Into the intake (Injen) ?

It means you are probably running a supercharger and should check you compression. -JoeB

[swimshady906]

Yes on the sc and where should i go to check my compression ... do you think it is too low or what?

[swimshady906]

But i have alot.... ive lost about a quart already.

oil out the valve cover into the intake = BLOWBY = BLOWN MOTOR = broken piston lands

engine rebuild time

Yikes, I get some blow-by out of the air breather I have on the valve cover vent, but I only loose about 3/4 quart of oil every 3k miles.

Yeah right now when i was cleanin' the bottom half of my intake box, i saw alot of oil near that blowby tubing in the resonator between the rubber hose.
It's alot on the front rubber hose, and near the opening of the blowby tubing.
My car only has 65,000 miles i think; it somewhere arounf there.
It's like a thick film of the oil though, not like gushin' into the intake.

Trust me. It's rebuild time. Do it right if you're anywhere in the mid-east coast call Carlos Jr at Arrieta MotorSports. He does it right!!

Keep in mind the longer you drive it that way the more it will ocst to fix it..

Ses my web-site for details.

it means you have to much pressure on your crack case. check if any vacum line got stucked and if you check compression is fine....just get a oil catch can.

you suppose get some oil from there once awhile but not a quart. i think the quart of oil from gone to somewhere else

if u needa new block which is sounds like is what u need then i haev one all it neesd are new rod bearins which are $7 a piece and u need 12... this block from toyota is almost 2,000 i think 1,800... i was gonna use it on my car but then my mexchanic did a compression check and said i didnt need the extra motor cuz my engine was perfectly fine... so i'll sellit to you for $600 its already boxed up in a crate made for it from toyota...

[swimshady906]

Hehe... i appreciate it adam but i acctually have a second block that im planning to build as soon as i get some time.

[SC V6]

well.... there is no doubt about it.. you need a new motor.. and I'd put money on that

Compression test is very easy and a guage is cheap. Just check the front 3 cylinders since they are VERY easy to get to. Good cylinder compression should be around 225. I think as long as you are above 170 or so, you are ok. My bet is when you take the plugs out of the front 3, you'll find oil on at least 1 of the plugs. You're ring lands are gone. Our pistons are CHEAP aluminum alloy CRAP! I had damaged the ring lands on all 6 pistons. Joseph is right, a little oil in a boosted application is not abnormal. A little positive pressure in places that had vacuum before will do that . That much oil is definitely a sign of bad thinks, trust me. -JoeB
