mfg Posted February 25, 2015 Report Posted February 25, 2015 Can anyone explain how it would be possible for a Studebaker Avanti R2 engine to suffer a 'supercharged oil pan'?
GAWen Posted February 26, 2015 Report Posted February 26, 2015 Plugged Air Breathers, on the valve covers, also a malfunctioning PCV unit.
brad Posted February 26, 2015 Report 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.
mfg Posted February 27, 2015 Author Report 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!
