I had a car come to me to diagnoses a problem!
I know that the dip stick popping out is a common problem with DSM's, mainly under boost. The car I'm working on does it while the car is sitting in my drive way and reving it to about 5k.
When I pull the dip stick while its idling, steam will come out of the tube. I've replaced the PVC valve.
A little back ground on the car. The owner told me he rebuilt head (decked .060!!!!!) with a Cometic head gasket. Thats when the problem started.
Any ideas? I'm thinking the head gasket and/or the head is the problem.
