Excessive oil ... out the breather and fill caps.
By Scott Perry - 08/20/2001 10:29:29 AM; IP 198.26.122.13
Hello. I have a very strong 390 PI motor that I run in a 67 Mustang. The motor was complete rebuilt a few years ago and has only a few thousand miles on it. I've been getting oil on the valve covers...and it appears to be blowing out the oil fill cap and breather tube. I know the motor has a high volume oil pump, but it should have that kind of presssure at the valve covers. It's almost impossible as well to run the car with the covers off...LOTS of oil to the valve train. It has the stock type rocker arms with adjusters and sheild. Any suggestions?? Thanks.
This thread, so far...
