Shifting Up
Hello All.
I need advice. A few months ago after a short 30km drive I found my engine to be completely covered with engine oil. The breathers were'nt clogged as I built an advanced breather system. I found the rocker cover gasket to be cracked and as the oil seeped out, the fan blew it all back --- so everything was covered in oil.
I fixed this and all went well......untill last weekend. Again oil all over everything....all of the oil.
I found the oil to be blown out of the oil filler pipe on the side of the engine. Condensation in the oil,but no mayonaise.. Also had it tested to reveal cyllinder head gasket not blown. But not sure.
Want to look in the radiator today to see if there is any oil in there. If there is none...could this mean that the piston rings are fried? How can I detect a cracked block/head? Can it be a crack?
Other than that Landie runs fine even with oil spewing out. Also, oil level is at the last line on the dipstick..add any oil above that and it gets blown out...
Please help.
