Oil Pressure
yeap, this will be interesting.
while i'm betting that changing the oil will not make a notable difference, I am hoping it does resolve this issue. if it does, that'll also clear up some things in my head lol

if your tappet cover gasket, sump gasket and oil cap are leaking, and have been installed correctly ie not too much sealant and only in the sharp corners of the half moons etc, that points to BLOW BY being the issue not the oil pressure, if your front and rear crank seals/oil pump seal/cam seal/oil filter etc were leaking then that would point to too much oil pressure.
what is the rebuild history of your motor khanage?

for those of us (i.e. me) who are mechically challenged, could you elaborate on this a bit? I don't quite understand the correlation between sump/rocker cover gasket leaks oil cap leaks and blow by.. I thought blow by would cause burnt oil to just go out the tail pipe as smoke?redzone wrote:if your tappet cover gasket, sump gasket and oil cap are leaking, and have been installed correctly ie not too much sealant and only in the sharp corners of the half moons etc, that points to BLOW BY being the issue not the oil pressure, if your front and rear crank seals/oil pump seal/cam seal/oil filter etc were leaking then that would point to too much oil pressure.

could be blow by, im pretty sure I shot the dip stick out once, cant remember exactly. Its been built with alot of expensive gear in it but i have a feeling it was thrashed on the run in as it was sold immediately afterwards. Leaks from the half moon still. Will reseal it when I get a chance. Doesnt blow any smoke though and after changing oils it doesnt seem to leak anymore except from the half moon. Fully synthetic 10w 40. I was thinking about moving to a 50 but noone really reccomended it. The compression is pretty high as well. Even across all four cylinders though. Dave, you want me to drop it in so you can take the engine out, inspect it and install a dellow bell housing and supra box for free? I will supply the clutch if u need it.
