Oil problem still on SR20det
Okay i posted a while ago about my oil catch can filling up too quickly from blowby. i'm trying to diagnose the problem so here are the symptoms
Oil blowing off a little bit from the BOV, my car never did that until the catch can started filling up fast. So that can mean my turbo seals are going bad, also my catch can line that goes to my intake is unplugged so i know i'm not sucking in oil.
I open my oil filler cap on the valve cover after having the car on and smoke comes out, so its possible my rings are going bad, i have not done a compression test yet though. My exhaust does not smoke at all unless i get into boost though and get into higher rpm. but when it does smoke it smells like bad blowby gases and its pretty bad smoke so i gotta drive the car easy when i do drive it.
PCV valve... I bought a new PCV valve from West Covina Nissan ( i have not put it on yet cause i'm out to sea for a few days) even if my PCV is bad that still doesn't really explain my BOV blowing off oil does it?? so somebody tell me... am i really screwed and i'm just going to have to bite the bullet and just rebuild this thing and just get a new turbo as well because i'm seriously considering buying another motor and dumping some cash into it if this thing is already taking a shit on me. somebody help.
