mfg Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Can anyone explain how it would be possible for a Studebaker Avanti R2 engine to suffer a 'supercharged oil pan'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAWen Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Plugged Air Breathers, on the valve covers, also a malfunctioning PCV unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 That still shouldn't do it .....not with 3/4" hose to the air filter. You would have to blow a hole in a piston to have enough crankcase pressure. It will not happen unless that hose is plugged off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 A stuck needle in the PCV could theoretically do this. (quite a stretch) But as brad suggested, the 3/4" air filter hose should relieve any build up of air pressure...He also mentioned if that 3/4" hose were blocked off the potential could be there....which I agree...Anyway, GAWen gets the kudos on this question!
