I just bought an 84 GN. Love the car but it has an O'Riely crate engine in it. It does have a warranty. The motor was put in a few months ago and has about 100 miles on it. It also has a new turbo on it. It is all stock. It idles like it has a miss and when you drive it or it makes any boost it blows oil out the dipstick tube and fills the car full of smoke. Smoke comes out the exhaust, oil fill neck on valve cover and anyother hole it can find. Any ideas or other cases like this out there?
Well, don’t want to “rain on your parade” or be the “bearer of bad news”, but I will.
Obviously, something is seriously wrong with the motor.
There are a few ways to get pressure in the crankcase;
1 - Past the rings.
If the rings are not seated by now, it will be hard to get them to seat and they may never seat. The cylinder walls are glazed. Do a search on "ring seating". There was a GREAT post on this a few years ago.
Having said that; Even new rings should never have this much blow-by and you are possibly dealing with an “out of round condition", broken rings, BIG ring gap, seriously oversized holes, cheap low tension rings, etc.
Most likely a combination of the list.
2 - Past the head gasket.
It could be simple; The head bolts were not torqued down to spec (as stated in previous posting) and the heads lifted, Or, the wrong gasket and wrong bolts were installed, or the deck or cylinder are not flat, or the heads bottomed on the locating pins, or ****, a combination of all of it. :frown:
With pressure in the crankcase, you may have gotten oil in the cylinders and blown a HG from detonation as well.
Some will say "How?"
Easy. With a stock set-up and working EGR and PCV ............
3 – Past the intake manifold (under boost).
Don’t think you got into boost (??), but if the intake manifold leaks, ……. You get the idea.
With the oil coming out of the dipstick, you have some issues that is going to do a lot of very expensive damage, if not fixed.
So, "my idea" (since you asked :tongue: ) is to pull the motor, return it under warranty and get another one, or get your $$$ back.
You will need to start from ground zero.
I think you have a lot of other challenges ahead than your challenges in this post
