Ross Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Often when i check the ea81t's oil, the dipstick has been blown up out of its seat by about 2cm so that it doesn't seal. I cant see how the crank case would be subjected to a positive pressure, since i know that the pcv hose from the right rocker cover to the intake hose is not blocked. Any ideas on what causes this? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbone Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I had a EA81T and a have a EA82T that do it also. I attribute it to leaky valve seals and rings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 #8 wire = fencing wire. just kidding though, i wont really use it to hold the dipstick in! Its just one of those stereotypes about nz'ers, that we use #8 wire for everything. No doubt it will get held in with insulation tape, like most other loose things on my cars.

NorthWet Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Ross said: #8 wire = fencing wire. The REALLY ol' timers here in The States refer to it as bailing wire, as in, "It's held together with spit and bailing wire." Us younger ( ) kids prefer duct tape (aka "racer's tape").
