Well this jeeps just falling apart....

Okay so now i have oil coming out of the top of my valve cover, i checked the line there and its not clogged, i heard it could be that my valves are going bad. what do you think?

Rings going /gone

Great, what will happen when they go?

Mine started pumping oil out of the ccv system, and through the air filter to the ground.

I wasn't losing any on top of the cover though, you're sure the lines and fittings are clear? Have you replaced the fittings recently?

I replaced my previously and used one that had too small of a hole, which caused it to pump oil out of the dipstick tube.

Low compression and a lot of blowby. Rarely causes a catastrophic failure of the sort that leaves you stranded somewhere, just less engine power and more oil consumption. Eventually it'll become difficult to start and won't want to stay running.

Anything coming from the oil dipstick tube?
Ever pulled the valve cover to make sure the baffles underneath aren't clogged?

brantley55

nothing coming from the dipstick, although when i check the oil it is all the way up the dipstick

Radi

Is it overfilled or do you have coolant leaking into the oil? Or is the pressure just blowing it up the tube?
What's the level if you wipe down the dipstick and check again after the motor's been shut down for a while?

brantley55

When i check the oil after cooled down the oil is at normal level. i dont believe coolant is leaking into the oil. i believe the oil is coming out of the fill cap and the rubber grommet about 1 foot behind it

Radi

Ah, good. Just pressure buildup then. I think your year has the baffles under the valve cover that can clog, plugging the CCV system. I believe Cruiser has a writeup on fixing them, or perhaps eliminating them. It may not be that at all, but might be worth taking a look.

ok thanks

No need to panic and whoever told you that the valves were going and is causing it, don't ever listen to them again.

First off, do you have oil in your air filter? And if so, post up a pic.

Is oil coming out the valve cover? If so, post up a pic.

Relax. This is probably no big deal at all, and folks making catastrophic, uninformed suggestions to you is of no help at all. .

brantley55

yes oil is coming out of the top of the valve cover, through the filler cap and that rubber grommet twards the back. i will post pics when it gets light out. and no i dont think oil is coming through the air filter

cruiser54

You're probably gonna need new vacuum harnesses or you may get by cleaning the orifice in the rear grommet.

Pics will tell us.

Is your valve cover gasket leaking by chance?

brantley55

gasket isnt leaking, going to take pics now

Here are the pics.
