bad idea or terrible idea?

[Pushit2.0]

I would do a leak down test to see how much blow by you are getting. What was your compression test method and brand of gauge? Also did you check all the machined surfaces on the block to make sure they are flat, with a straight edge and feeler gauge? If the block is warped it will leak oil like crazy. Also where is the oil coming from? and do not say "from everywhere" it has to be coming from seals, gaskets, cracks, etc. The idea of venting more crank case pressure is good, but I do not see it as needed in this case, the valve cover is a little easy to drill into. Who did the machine work and assemble on the motor again?

ROFL... Quote of the year!

And I agree with terrible idea, but its your motor, you do what you like.

are you calling him fat? UR MEAN

I'm going with terrible idea...

There are 1000's (maybe millions?) of other 4g63's that didn't need this mod to not leak oil all over.

Nuff said, I think. There's no need to re-invent the wheel when there's easier, proven methods that won't PUT A HOLE IN THE SIDE OF YOUR ENGINE BLOCK

Fucking Epic.

I agree, this should be done.

What was your compression test method and brand of gauge?

Wal-Mart, we bought it to determine if a friends engine had bent valves, all i can trust it to do is tell me if i have ANY psi in a cylinder

Also did you check all the machined surfaces on the block to make sure they are flat, with a straight edge and feeler gauge?

John Gosh did this for me, resurfaced the block.

If the block is warped it will leak oil like crazy.

not going to rule this out, its possible

Also where is the oil coming from? and do not say "from everywhere" it has to be coming from seals, gaskets, cracks, etc.

From everywhere. JK the whole engine/transmission was coated with gunk and grime, i just finished cleaning the whole assy up today, see attached pic. it was black when i started this. and I have added a bottle of dye to trace any leaks WHEN they surface

The idea of venting more crank case pressure is good, but I do not see it as needed in this case, the valve cover is a little easy to drill into. Who did the machine work and assemble on the motor again?

I am in no way suggesting that everyone do this, just i think this is going to be a fun experiment.

True, but i learned everything I know about DSMs through rick, back when he was working on DSMs (is he still doing this?)

therefore, I am as crazy as rick.

Also, if John Gosh looks at a block, feels the metal, and says "there should be no problem with block strength if you drill a hole right....there" I am going to believe him over what anyone else here says. DSM pro or not

Oh, how do you like my factory heatshield over my SBR v1 manifold?

[Kevin 1G Drummer]

Well, at least you're not really advertising for SBR, considering the manifold is covered up...

Project update: got motor installed, it was a total bitch with that stock ABS. I had that engine at such a messed up angle to get it in there! I hope i never have to do that swap again!

Pictures are of my intercooler piping and my supra sidemount. I know that it is really old school, but who cares? it was free!

I really want a FMIC, but im saving up for a house and I just cant budged it in right now.

I heard the engine blew driving it down the block
