bad idea or terrible idea?

[iceminion]

Good god kid... Where the hell do you come up with all these crazy ass ideas?? Massive drug influence?

na, probably just the massive amount of undiagnosed PTSD that i got back in 'raq

[iceminion]

If you post it I assume straight away its a bad idea. How about fixing the rings that are shot in your motor to eliminate some crank case pressure, or just buy a real vacuum pump?

well, this engine was just rebuilt .20 over all machine work done by john gosh, rings staggered properly and last time we did a compression test, it was 200 across the board, your call

[Halon]

What symptoms are you seeing that are making you do all of this?

Our crankcase vents out the valve cover ports. If you have quite a bit of excess pressure, why not just add a second fitting to the valve cover like has been done time and time again? Or like has been mentioned, just hook up an actual vacuum pump.

I'm convinced that iceminion and Tom chat late at night and come up with these things and give eachother advice in general.

Wow.. im not sure what to say. You must be bored and like to waste money.

[niterydr]

Wow, I am voting terrible idea.
Where is the vote button?

If you have good compression, why would you waste your time with this? There's a good chance your block will just crack around it, and in the end it really accomplishes nothing.

Good work though, come find me at the cookout and show me this mod, I want to pat you on the back for most-amazing-silly-overkill-pointless-but-well-attempted-and-humorously-executed-mod ever :)

Are those lines from Slowboy Racing? :P

the engine was rebuilt, and then was used in my brother's laser which put down an estimated 350 whp (not bragging, just it was pushing some serious HP)

he was constantly plagued by oil leaking over everything, we tried every trick in the book to stop the oil seeping out of the top end, to no avail.

My brother decided to quit while he was ahead, parted his car, and bought a 2g. I grabbed his motor.

So, all I am doing is applying a feature common on other turbocharded cars.

I drilled the hold in a non-structeral location on the side of the block, I didnt drill through any major "webbing" in the casting.

200psi of compression? Is it all-motor?

[iceminion]

we put 2G pistons in it, i think our compression tester is reading a little high honestly, but its pretty even across +-5 on the gauge.

Oh, and one more thing, before I did this, I asked John Gosh about drilling a hole in the block, i pointed to where I was going to drill it, and he thought it was a great idea.

Basically if John Gosh not only agrees with me, but calls it a good idea, im not really worried.

what I am worried about is still leaking oil after all of this. then I will have wasted my time with this mod.
