I was out testing a new fuel pressure setting...and somewhere out making some aggressive runs I puked about 6-8 oz of oil out the dipstick.
What causes this? -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???
91 Chevy C1500 "Problem Child" **SOLD** 01 Impala DD 07 Trailblazer Wife's new DD Cars run on blood, sweat, and horsepower... Without the first two, you can't get the last" SOB Racing "Sitting On Blocks" |

There's a section in the VFAQs about this. Mitsu90 has the right idea behind it. Crankcase pressures rise and cause the dipstick to pop out. Theory is that it is either a weak dipstick seal or failing piston rings. Good rings will pop out a bad dipstick and bad rings will pop out a good dipstick.
Pinch the dipstick tube with a pair of vise grips at the top, and that should keep it in place. If not, you can wire the stick down to a convienent spot on your engine. Whatever you decide, do something to prevent oil on that exhaust manifold! -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM)
