F24 stroker kit for race use
#131
f20kills, or others with the CNC 2.4 stroker kit, have you had any issues with the dipstick getting pushed out of your valve cover?
I saw this post in another thread that seems to say if you have that issue then you have blow-by that speaks to other issues:

It happens on mine all the time, so much that I just thought the original dipstick's o-ring had gotten less effective so I bought a new dipstick, but same issue with it popping out. The work-around I'm using is to just turn the dipstick 180 degrees and it never pops out.
Thoughts?

I did the valve cover mod, added bigger lines to my catch can, and now I can go two full session without issue with only half my catch tank filled. Its a small tank too. I highly recommend the valve cover mod stickied at the top of this forum.
I bought a spring to hold my dip stick down because even on the dyno it would pop out. I have no issues now when I go on track.

BTW...none of my lines recirculate to the intake. Id have HP issues in turns and oil build up like crazy. Once I did the valve cover mod, my car ran perfect again.

If the crankcase pressure is high enough to blow out the dip stick with a catch can...maybe a catch can isn't sufficient, some positive crankcase evacuation would seem to be needed. One way is to use an air oil separator (like this heated unit for a Subaru Air Oil Separator for WRX/STI) and route the outlet to the intake. Or route the outlet to a vacuum pump and then to the atmosphere, probably though a catch can with breather. Could the S2000 air pump be used as a vacuum pump?
If not using a catalytic converter, it may be possible to scavenge the crankcase using the exhaust. Moroso built a kit for this: Moroso 25900: Crankcase Evacuation System | JEGS. I had it on my limited late model 20 years ago at the request of the engine builder. I never did a performance test.

hahahaha, I thought I was the only one doing this. Jason Kohler showed me this trick about 4 years ago, with a piece of cardboard. I told everyone it was in the NASA free mod list. On a serious note, once I replaced the dipstick (supposedly you can just do the seal), there was no need.

sometime back I read a thread where someone was able to replace the seal only. My dealer/sponsor said only avail as whole dipstick, so that's what I did. It was cheap, and worked
