driversdomainuk 8 Posted September 6, 2006 You probably know my story about my car sicking up 1 pint of oil whilst hillclimbing. I have put it down to worn piston rings and oil blowing past into crank case...fine However, I gave the car a real hard thrashing in a straight line on the dual carriage way last week and no oil was sicked up..NOTHING So, this is obviously down to when I put it through a corner hard and oil surges to the side...However, I need to be sure that this is still down to a worn bottom end and nothing else. Any ideas other than the above as to why oil shoots up into catch tank on corners only in such a large about... PS - have recently had all pipes etc cleared and no change Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonmurgie 2 Posted September 13, 2006 What's the spec of the car? You running carbs or standard induction? Have you modified the oil breather setup or is that standard too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am running twin 45 Webers - I personally have not modified the oil breather setup although this could have been done by one of the previous 11 owners - could this be an issue..?

driversdomainuk 8 Posted September 13, 2006 Come to think about it - when I bought the car in 2004 it had a Pipercross oil breather/filter on the side of the oil filler cap. This is where the oil used to rush up from. It still does this however, now I have a pipe which leads into a catch tank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rescue dude 0 Posted September 13, 2006 You entered for Loton? I'll have a look then. Is it coming out of the catch tank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

welshpug 1,657 Posted September 14, 2006 sounds like too much oil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rescue dude 0 Posted September 14, 2006 Does to me too. I can't fill my oil to the max because i have a similar problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stew205 17 Posted September 14, 2006 Under heavy braking the oil can run up the front of the block then get blown up the breather pipes. I could never get it do it on the road either. Or though I used to fill my catch tank after each track session. Use one of the blanking plugs on the back of the block as a return line from your catch tank. Make sure you put a oneway valve in it though After doing the above I don't get any problems related to this now. Thanks Stew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
driversdomainuk 8 Posted September 14, 2006 I am having the bottom end rebuild soon so that should solve the issue anyway.... Surely when the 205's were new they would not have done this...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
