Re: More thoughts on excessive crankcase pressure 200 87

I've always found that the true messure of crankcass pressure was if the oil dipstick was "blown out of its tube." If it is not, I would replsce the filler cap gasket. The only other really wierd one I have run into was high crankcase pressure caused by a plugged exaust, This will not show up on a compression test from me experience but was the problem on my 88 740. Check to see if a smaller aftermarket muffler has been installed. The Volvo tend to use a large exaust, with at 2 - 2 1/2 inch OD

Good Luck
