Dipstick popping out.

[The Panch]

LSV-itr head turbo

Dipstick keeps popping out. was popping out only when i punched it.

BUT ive removed the turbo kit and am all motor. and the dipstick continues to pop out but even easier now.

i have this picture of a stock dipstick and i cricled the only visiable damaged area.

would that prevent it from staying in? or is this an underlying problem?

its just a small chip from right there from when being pulled out rubbing on a screw

Is your pcv valve plugged?

Blowby pressure might be building up and finding it's way out your dipstick.

DonJulio with the win!

i actually recently cut and replaced that. it was leaking oil out of the pcv so i fixxed it. so maybe.

cuz im also gettign smoke from the breather recently so it does make sense thank you. ill check

Did you reinstall it backways? Lol.

 

[The Panch]

i'd say no, cuz the problems didn't start immediately after the fix. il check tomorrow

btw i was 7lbs boost, racing anyone that wanted. and type r tranny. and tuned

 

[Muckman]

boosting on stock PCV system means when in boost and blow by is highest the system is effectively plugged.

most people I see boosted port the valve cover to an oil catch can to help with the blow by. But since you went back to N/A you shouldn't be seeing any of these issues unless your rings are gone. Double check for the correct direction of flow on the pcv and if that's not it then I would probably bet on the rings.
