You don’t make much sence bud! Any idea where the oil came from? How fast where you going? What are your mods? You say “out of no where” you hit 15 psi, where you not trying? Did you do a 3rd gear pull? Just trying to understand what happened so that we can help out.

Yeah it was a third gear pull was coming back from my moms. Out of no where the car started hesistating.

I have an 18g, 550cc injectors, a Wally 255 gm 3” maf. The car filled with smoke. Once I got it home the whole top of the engine was coated in oil. I haven't had time to go out and see where it came from. Any ideas?

And yes I was driving it a little hard, just confusing because it runs fine

Did the dipstick pop out???

Pat026 · Dec 27, 2018

Yes sir my boss thinks it’s the rings pressure passing through

Which honestly makes sense but I did a compression test a few weeks back all cylinders read around 140

Pat026 · Dec 27, 2018

I’m sorry all around 125 so that makes sense right?

Youd need to do a leak down test to verify rings but probably. I'd check your pcv valve also.

1990TSIAWDTALON · Dec 27, 2018

Crankcase pressure is the culprit on a dipstick blowing out of the tube.....and is a dam fire hazard too. You can hold the dipstick in with a spring and a hose clamp around the tube but it doesn't fix the problem. It does, however, keep you from burning down the car. Rings or valve stem seals can be related to this problem.

Leak Down test right?

Or am I using a compression test could explain lack in power and stuttering

Well a complete tear down perhaps anything I should replace while I’m in there parts I should be using recommendations thank you all for the help
