hey all,

i have an R32 4 Door with pretty much a stock rb20det in it and i popped the bonnet yesterday and noticed oil all over the firewall on drivers side and it seemed that the dipstick had slowly rattled its way out a bit and then oil is obviously slowly comin out and with wind comin in to the engine bay while driving causing it to spray over the firewall.then after i checked oil level it read way way over the high line on dip stick so i drained like 2 1/2 litres out and then rechecked it and it was fine .

BUT my main concern was that there was oil on rocker cover/coil pack cover and around/in stock BOV.would this just be because there was way to much oil in there.

any help would be great thanks guys.

Holy shit how much oil did you put in there to start off with?!

My brother had this happen to him on a different engine (351 V8). It appeared that the breather was blocked so air was being forced up the dipstick, and when we were on a long trip through the country he lost a few litres of oil up the dipstick...

Althought i dont know if our engines have some sort of breather however...

But back to the matter at hand, how much oil did you put in there to start off with.

First thing i did when i got my car was to change all oils and filters...

So from then on you know your have EXACTLY 5000kms before the next oil change and you know EXACTLY how much oil has gone in.

I would do an oil and filter change tomorrow just for peace of mind if i were you...

rofl .... running original oil from japan with a top up ... i feel so sorry for your car the cost of rebuilding a f**ked engine is nothing compared to proper servicing. Id be doing a complete oil and filter change immediately.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
