Oil purging from dipstick???
Oil purging from dipstick???
I have a Dynamic 88 originally with a 2 bbl 394. I recently converted to 4 bbl. Seem since doing that, I get oil that purges out the dipstick while driving. It comes out in a pretty good amount. If the car is sitting/idle it wont do it. Even if you rev the engine it doesnt spill a drop...only when it is being driven?
I have done a compression test and compression is good on all cylinders, and there is no milk or anything in my oil. It all looks clean.....any suggestions??
I have a hose hooked up from the pcv on the valve cover to the breather, my pcv valve is good, and I have the correct oil cap that breathes properly. Anything I may be overlooking? Any feedback is appreciated

I am wondering what you mean when you say you have a hose hooked up from the PCV valve to the breather. The PCV valve need to be hooked to a good vacuum source like the base of the carb or the intake manifold. If you don't have it hooked to a good vacuum source you will be building excessive pressure in the crankcase and it would blow our out somewhere. Pull the PCV valve out with the motor running and it should have good suction. I am betting it does not. Good luck.
edj1993-you hit the nail right on the head. I had recently sold the car, and figured that out a week or so before selling it. I had done quite a bit of highway driving after figuring that out about the pcv valve being upside down and it didnt lose a drop! Simple enough mistake, but glad it didnt cost anything. I miss my big Olds
