Oil squit out from head cover

[normality78]

Guy's,

im having a problem here. I found out there is some oil squit out frm my engine head cover whn i reach high boost. i've tried to replaced the cover but its still there. any sifu know wats going on?

If your head cover has been opened previously, then it should be the main cause of leakage. Once it is installed back, the rubber seal between the cover and the engine block will not fit on the right tapak therefore oil would seep thru under high pressure. Its almost no-solution to this problem but to accept the reality.

Once the cover is opened and re-attached, its for sure the oil will seep out...

wah... die la like this. even brand new rubber seal also wun help?

before the squirting..have u ever opened it?if u did then...no wonder.....if u didn't then just replace it with a new seal...
basic automotive rule...open anything with seal or gasket...replace it with a new one..never recycle...
i hope that helps...cheers!

clean the sides and change a new seal...
it will help!!!

the rubber seal tends to "dried" up as time goes on de... my engine used to be like that last time.. so ask mech to change the seal... the problem still there... just lesser oil leakage only...

Usually it's the seal leak, alternatively, you can try enlarge the breather tube that comes out of the head cover. My oil squirt out from the engins oil cap because the breather was too small. :)

ok. let me tackle 1 by 1.

1. nop. the head cover was not open before. it was whn there is some oil squit out from my plug seal thn we open up to check. that is the 1st time we open up the cover.

2. we did clean and re-apply the seal. we even apply more to make sure but it still doensnt help.

3. i also did seal up the 2 breather tube that inter-connect head cover to intake manifold. my mech said could be due to press too high and force the press back into cam cover hence it squit out. i sealed the intake manifold side and let the head cover side open up but still the same. i didnt enlarge it though.

so wat im going to do next is to change all the seal and hope it works.

From what i see, your case the same as me & my friend's. Try enlarging the breather. If i'm not wrong oil squirtin should only be at high boost. How high boost you runin?

 

[normality78]

my mech also ask me to enlarge it but im not so confi it will help. yup, the oil squit happen only at high boost or max boost i would to say. im boosting 0.8bar

 

[E3newbie]

Well lets hope changing your seals work, remember to update us ya? Btw does your dip stick ever fly out when high boost cos this happened to me few times. I'm on 1 bar boost.

head

Just take the head cover out, scrape out the old gasket.
Use a gasket maker (the paste) & fasten the cover tight..

shud be ok

bro its kinda normal for it to spill out on high boost
how i solved mine was

1. change the rubber seal on the oil cap , just 4 bucks for original oem
2. make 2 extra breather on the valve cover
its becos, most probably ur stock breather is blocked or wht
and when u open ur valve cover, drill holes on the inner plate so that there be more access on the breather to release pressure
3. check ur oil sure not more than max level or not hehe
4. play safe , boost 2bar :P
