Another Oil Question, Should I Be Worried??
First: The car is dyno and street tuned (by me so I'm not a noob haha).
I know there are alot of burning of oil questions but this is not one. I noticed today that as I shift between gears either at 7500 or 8000 (8000 creates a bigger blue cloud behind my car). And it's a pretty large cloud. It does not burn oil at idle, oreven just normal driving, and I am not low on oil. I only see the cloud under WOT at high RPM's. Also I noticed that my dip stick was blown out of the hole and oil was squirted onto the hood (it was in the hole to begin with). Is this normal or should I be really concerned? What could it possibly be?
Specs:
- LS/VTEC revving to 8000rpm
- Drag Generation III Turbo Kit
- T3/T4 .57 @ 14.5psi (making 375whp right now)
- Thermal R&D 3" Stainless Steel
- Custom 3" Downpipe
- Brand New GSR Head - Port/Polished
- Skunk 2 Valves & Springs
- Skunk 2 Turbo Cam Shafts
- Eagle Forged Rods
- Wiseco 81.5mm 8.8:1 Pistons
- Stock Sleeves bored to 81.5mm
- No block girdle (yet)
I don't want to bore you guys, so that's at that the mods that I think would apply for this situation.

Re: Another Oil Question, Should I Be Worried?? (Dunc)
um all i know is when you have enough pressure to blow out your dipstick its time for a compression test.. you might have a problem with blow-by or something is wrong with your block causing these higher than normal crankcase pressures..
good luck

Thank you for the input. I'll do the test on friday and buy the Endyn breather kit too on Friday. Although I tried it again on the way back on the highway.....didn't see smoke and the dipstick didn't get "ejected" out of the hole again.
What would be consider high for compression....and whats considered low?
Just kinda concerned as this is the first time (last night and this afternoon) that I have seen the smoke after some 25,000 miles of 14.5psi of daily boost.

Re: (Teglove2)
