i bought the car and drove it 2 days before i decided to change the oil. its only happened after i ran the **** after it. i went to work and it was fine. drove a kid i worked with down this long buisnees rd. i got the car up to 90 mph turned around and drove normal on the wasy back. poped the hood and it poped out. i think i might of had to much oil in the motor. and this has happened 3 times. after the 3rd time i got a zip tie. i never put any oil in on the last time it spilled stuff everywere and it runs fine now. but just to be safe i got a zip ti. tommorow i think im going to do a test with the zip tie off to see if it is only poping out at high boost . im pretty sure it was i just had to much oil in it.

when it was spilling out the dipstick read like this l -------l

now its not poping out however the dipstick reads like this l ----l

personally i think you put in to much oil. check the level in the morning or after you havent driven for a while

The dipstick popping out is indicative of a very serious engine problem. Locking it into place to keep it down is like putting on head phones so you can't hear your rod knock.

Get that, and consider it fix... or use a zip tie if you like.....

yeah, its blow by. cylinder rings are usually the cause. do a compression test, and if it doesnt look good, do a leak down to narrow down the problem.

p.s. make sure you at lest patch the problem asap with a dip stick tie down, or else you risk an engine fire from oil on your exhaust mani.

truth. oil spray on the bottom of your hood isnt that cool, and neither is crankcase pressure.

Before you jump to conclusions....fix the simplest first.
Try changing the two o-rings on the dip stick. I have replace a few on friends cars..
New o-rings made it fit tight again.

Check your PCV system. Is it vented to atmosphere, or is it still recirculating (i.e. stock)?

I never ran into this issue on my stock setup (and that was even _with_ blow-by), but I do run into it with the AMS VSR intake on my car when I road race it, so I use a zip tie these days...

on changing your pcv valve. extremepsi.com has them. and the buschur spring to avoid another mess. Hopfully the pcv is the problem, if not, its not a good sign of a rock soild motor.

time for a catch can or for another valve cover vent. you are having exxicive blow by. i would just add some huge valve cover vents to solve the problem. works good for my teg

Mine popped out once, and that would be the last. I bought a spring from Buschur for about 5 bucks, well worth it.

This is a common problem among all DSMs, when i used to run mine it used to shoot out too, I woulnt think that its a problem. And its not Blow by, it just simply Physics, You have a Motor Running close to 100+ psi on a good day with a solid pull, and your Oil dip stick acts like a relief for the pressure. Its the weak link if you will to the oil system, change the O Rings, get your Oil retension spring that BR makes, and call it a day. PM Dave b, i bet you he says the same thing.


The other thing that it might be is that you have too much crank pressure, AKA, your not running a catch can, and in the process of doing so the air has nowhere to go so it reliefs itself through the Dip stick....


Either way i dont think that you have a serious problem on your hands. You can run a compression test. and a leakdown test but i dont think that you have anything to worry about.
