Re: Too Much Crankcase Pressure? 700 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Patrick Collins on  Fri Dec 8 01:42 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Just loosen the oil cap and let it sit loose on top of the inlet spout. With the car idling, look at the cap and note whether it is stationary, jiggling or dancing. Stationary is good. If the cap jiggles, you might be OK, especially with a plastic oil cap. Increases in throttle should make the cap should suck down tight. Dancing is bad for any type of cap. It's not a scientific test by any means, so you might want to measure the pressure to be sure.
