I have noticed this last week that the car has been popping the dipstick.
When mine use to do that, it would blow oil up the tube also. There are fixes for it to stop it from popping out, i never did them. But since my motor was rebuilt, it doesnt do it anymore (using the original 180,000 mile dipstick). I also have a breather can on the valve cover that would also blow out and into the engine bay, would that have been caused from bad rings?

On a side note, when i drive my car, it has an oily smell to it, but i have no visible oil leaks and it doesnt burn/use any oil. Would this be coming from that breather cap venting into the engine bay?

mitsu90 have you thought about just pulling your head off and having it rebuilt? It may be the best way to go. If you get a used head, it may not be in much better shape than what you took off, and you will still have to take it to a shop and make sure its straight anyway. Take it to precision in bloomington, he did a good job on mine, and he probably could put the 5 speed cams in for you, he seems to have alot of engine stuff lying around.
