Where did my oil go?

[Lokar]

I was driving home and my oil light came on. I stopped right away and checked the oil. It took 3 quarts to fill it up!?!?!!!???!!!!!! Where the hell did all my oil go? It hasnt been smoking and it hasnt been leaking so???? Jim, I think I just need to bring this mess down and let you fix it and tune it for me! Really, when is your next trip to atlanta? I want to have you tune it for sure, but I was trying to get all the bugs worked out first. Anyway, I will probably call you on monday.

I'm in the same fucking boat right now as you are....... I checked my oil today after about 500 miles of driving and it was down a full quart.....FUCK! Then while going to work I was in front of a friend of mine and he said there was a little bit of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust when I would give it a little throttle....

Looks like no dyno tuning for me in the near future [img]frown.gif[/img]

Don't panic Tim...
Remember that your CRVTEC does not have an oil seperator box... and crankcase pressures could be high enough to force oil into the intake track.

Don't count out your dyno time just yet.

Jim, what exactly do you mean by intake track??

Remember my Air Intake is NOT connected to the little valve coming from my valve cover my Catch Can is....... I will check it to see if there is any oil in it today.

Tim,

I know... but your PCV valve does... and it is connected to the bottom of your blower, remember ?!?

Hmmmm the fitting on the bottom of the blower is not connected to anything..... it is plugged right now. The hose that was on there originally went to the air intake BUT I had to move it because it was throwing the fuel code and really messed up my idle. I'm completely confused [img]frown.gif[/img]

I really hope I don't need new valves and valve guides [img]graemlins/cry.gif[/img]

BTW, I noticed the oil being low about a week or so back. It did not show these low oil levels before until now (a week or so back)......

I'm going to do a compression test today on the motor....... I will post up the results later on.

So, you are saying that there was no noticeable oil consumption until about a week ago ???

[BoostedEX]

Yep, it's weird......

Trip to atlanta? Excuse me? Jim- you go on tour? make trips around the country to help the untuned and performance plagued?

I'm so in! Tell me when you plan on coming out to Denver! We could go skiing and tune cars and have a hell of a time! [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
