I've been procrastinating away the winter, but it's time to address a few items before spring.
Oil leaks - Ok, this is my biggest problem and is the reason for this post. I'm getting a lot of crankcase pressure since I added the turbo. Off boost I've got no oil leaks. On-boost I've got leaks from the valve covers and pushrod tubes (both new and in good condition). I've got the rocker-box vents plumbed up to the spark-arestor where they are joined by the oil-filler vent hose and this three-into-one arangement then goes via single 5/8" hose to a home-made catch can. Do you think running these as three individual lines (rather than plumbing them down to a single 5/8" hose) would cure the problem, or do I need something more agressive in the way of venting/scavenging? -Ben M. |

I copied Racer Chris's design for his race car...here is a pic of his
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2-1084369305.jpg) I have one of those CB ones like andy has right now and it isn't adequate for my 2056, so I doubt it will adequate for a turbo motor. After one good autox run I have oil coming out of it and dripping down onto the tin. On the new on I will be running -10 lines, mostly cause I had some left over from when I put in my oil cooler...I will snap some pics once I get it installed. Tony |
