major air out of my breather

[lildeez07]

ok guys i have an f22a1 and im gettin a major amount of air out of my breather. now the first thing i though was my rings so i did a compresstion test and it came out 180 accross the block idk what else it is oh its also burning oil cuz the air coming out of the breather is blue any ideas

[wed3k]

you'd be burning oil if the plugs were black and carboned or the exhaust smoke was blue.

how does that help me with the air out of the breather im not tryin to be rude or anything

it might mean you are not burning oil but the crankcase could be pressurized.

[lildeez07]

if its pressurizing what could it be

[d112crzy]

It just means you have a lot of crank case pressure. Which can indicate some compression being lost and going into the crank case through the rings.

A few ways to fix this. Re-ring your motor, or create a way to evacuate as much crank case pressure as possible.

Look up catch cans and crank case ventilation systems. It's nothing out of the ordinary.

thanks man this is what i was lookin for but two questions
could it be somithing to do with the valve guides or somethin in the head
second question the compression test cam out good so th rings cant be that bad could they? i mean the test was good 180 accross the block

but if the rings were to be going out, it would smoke upon revving.

[d112crzy]

He never said anything about it not smoking. And I'm not saying they're going out completely, just enough to cause the pressure.

For all we know it's just the normal pressure and he's making it a bigger deal than it really is because he doesn't know better.

its also burning oil cuz the air coming out of the breather is blue

[lildeez07]

i know what the normal pressure is and it above the norm. yes there is a lil smoke it looks like blue steam. i know about motor and the pcv system i kno that there is a problem but i dont want to just be takin a shot in the dark so i asked you guys on the board for a lil help cuz i dont want to rebuild the bottom end for it to be somethin in the head ya know

[lildeez07]

so far everything i have said has come from while the car is at idle

you measured the crankcase pressure?

[lildeez07]

no but i compared the amount of out that comes out of there with another car (same motor) and mine comes out in a bigger volume the other car has very little compared to mine. oh and the air that comes out smells like gas on my car but on the other car the smell wasnt as strong

[90LXCB7Newbie]

if its like mine, ur rings r going out slowly but surely...

and r u talkin' bout a breather u added on?
cuz its better to leave that hose to the intake and just put an oil catch can there and between ur pcv and mani.
works wonders, i cant wait to do it to mine,
it will help with the oil burning too (a lil bit n e ways)
