Thank you. The interesting aspect to this is the truck was largely dry until I drove around Chicago through heavy construction areas with traffic and felt like I was taking it off jumps. I don’t know how that would cause this. The take off filter didn’t show any signs of damage. So I’d think the mating surface should be unchanged. I don’t consider the oil pressure numbers I saw last night to be overly high so I wouldn’t think it’s the regulator. I’m open to suggestions.
I actually lubed the o ring with some light weight grease before installing. I haven’t checked the mating surface with a straight edge yet. I’d really like to not Cobb something together with RTV to make it work if I can avoid it.
There's nothing wrong with that. The old hot rodders adage is 10 PSI per 1000 RPM. I seriously doubt that your were seeing more than 5000 RPM.
Agree, I don't think that's out of the norm for a healthy motor. I think at 70 I'm turning 2600-2700 RPM with 4:10 gears and stock size tires. That being said, I ran it without the air filter on it when I was checking for leaks and was noticing a good amount of blow by coming up the CCV into the intake. Still leaves me wondering why oil is finding its way out of the oil filter. Wouldn't the internal oil filter bypass cover most over pressure issues anyways?
That's also normal for these engines. The were designed with a large ring gap so they do have a lot of blow by.
