i dont think its the oil ether. yeah i dont plan on switching oils it hasn't done it to me the year prior of using it.

 

That was and still is my first suspect. In the process of getting a double or triple breather(race catch can) built, we just have to decide how we want to baffle it.

Also where do you think its best to vent from besides the two factory valve cover nipples? how STM does from the balance shaft hole after there deleted(like mine)?
or is there elsewhere without drilling holes in the valve cover?

thanks

 

Forced ventilation, e.g., a PCV setup, is the best solution. But no one, including myself, wants to deal with oil vapors in the IM. There are other possibilities, but so far, nothing that I have found to be an acceptable replacement yet. Haven't given up though.

 

yeah that is true, but i like my clean IM haha. you that see some people run a AN line down to a bung on there exhaust from there catch cans for a vacuum? maybe with a check valve that would work?

 

Bumpity. Any new thoughts from different souls

 

Heat. I have seen this a few times over the years. I attributed this thick sludge to heat and or very high mileage on the oil, hot climates with the use of petroleum oil and did I mention HEAT. I do not feel that contamination from fuel of any type contributes to this. Heat a few ounces of oil on a stove and you will see the same result.

yeah but like others have said, hard to break down a synthetic, but i guess not impossible.

idk ive been running the same setup i have now for a year with the same oil and ran E85 and its never ever done it.






screw it, cleaned it out, just gunna run it and see what happens lol

 

You have 3 solutions. Try them all and then check your results:
1 Get a good PCV setup like mrfred suggested,
2 wrap your down-pipe so it doesn't heat the oil pan as much, and
3 try other E85 from another location

 

yeah thats how i see it, just doing them all at once and see what happens, if it still does it, well then i know.
