3.0 v6 omega oil pressure HELP

[palmer3914]

Hi guys just done a bit of messing about with my omega 3.0 v6 but at high revs chucks oil / gunk out of breather..... not blocked as all been cleaned.. but........

1- had too much liquid in there
2- head gaskets totally went as in HOT HOT HOT... just been changed so there is a sizeable amount of water in the oil
3- not been started in 4 months so simply standing

im thinking it could be steam from the water as its HOT as FECK if you put hand near it and oil fumes dont get that hot .. almost kettle hot........

any idea's???

sorry just realised wrong section!!!!!!!!!!!

My V6 runs at around 80 degrees, but thats with an external cooler. So I'd say it's possible that it IS oil fumes.

change the oil before you run it if you have water in it!!

[palmer3914]

yeah will change it tomorrow.. just wanted to see it if runs right as just did head gaskets and several other things like 6kg race fly wheel, underdrive pully, and several strange other things... as track day saturday!!!! just need to sort the crank case pressure to stop it blowing oil out otherwise 1 lap and it will be bone dry!!!!!!

cheers

You took the heads off and didn't change the oil?

[palmer3914]

yes .......... i know... it was simply to check it run!!! with no mis fires etc etc.... no miles just started... but yes i know....

[Reverb]

If it's pressurising the crank case (heavy breathing) could be head gasket gone into an oil gallery. I'd change the oil and get a compression test done.

[palmer3914]

Have just done head gaskets on it... so no its not that........ any other ideas????

oil change will be done tomorrow mind you

[Reverb]

If it's breathing heavy then it's presurising the crank case - the only way it could happen is if the bores leak into the oil ways which could be piston ring blow-by or valve oil seals. Take the dipstick out with the engine running and see if it blows out of there.

well pleased to say still haven'y changed oil BUT no longer blows out, must of had a bit of crap stuck somewhere.............. BUT HAVE EVEN MWORSE PROBLEMS TO CONTEND WITH NOW!!!!
