Hi Guys ...
The last couple of driving sessions that I've had ... there is no issue with any smoke after the first or second boost run ...
However, after that I begin to see a smoke screen behind the car if I hit boost again ... Normal driving is fine, no smoke of oil on header, etc ...
The 1st time this happened I pulled the car in and noticed oil on the drivers side header (was hard to pinpoint the leak as Oil was on rear of valve cover, head, dipstick tube, headers, plug wires, etc...) This 2nd time, I finally noticed the dipstick wasn't seated (pushed out) so I'm assuming oil is backing up and out through the dipstick tube ...
I have one breather on the passenger side valve cover and did notice a little fluid backing out there but it was minimal ... The drivers side has a PVC (Hose from Valve cover to rear of Carb) ...
Do you have any recommendations for me to prevent oil from backing out of dipstick tube under boost ...
Thank you ...
Tim
