My 302 is blowing the dipstick out. Do I need to rebuild the bottom end? It's not running hot.rattling in the bottom end :BangHead: :BangHead:Any suggestions please!
Either a blocked breather [pcv valve or similar] too much oil, or it could well be excessive crankase pressure meaning new rings\ rebore.
How many miles has it done?
not sure bout mileage, just bought the car and going through it...auto meter gauges...holding 60 lbs of oil pressure...i also have a 351 windsor, thought about sinking money into it and swaping motors, what do you suggest? Thanks for any advice
Pull out your pcv valve and shake it. It should rattle. If it doesn't, replace it. If it does rattle, then I would recommend a compression test to verify your rings are good.
