I have had my 90 GS-T for a whole year and the dipstick never ever came out. Now I rebuilt the engine with all new parts, the car runs ok (still breaking it in so no normal driving yet). Yesterday, after doing all suggested breaking in steps, I was ready to push it slighly and feel the power of the 50-trim but my boost was set to wastegate pretty much and at 7 psi boost you can't really tell you have that turbo. However when I parked the car after five minutes my dipstick had popped out and there was some oil sprayed here and there.
For some reason my aftermarket oil pressure gauge, with the sensor mounted in place of the dummy oil dash light sensor, shows me that my oil pressure is above 100 psi all the time, as it slowly goes down to 80 as the car warms up but still acts weirdly. It's impossible to have such a high pressure, especially at idle. The gauge must be messed up, it's a cheap gauge after all.
I know the dipstick popped out due to crackcase pressure but how would that form??? My PCV valve has opened all the time as it does not go to the intake manifold but to a catch can instead and then vented out. It worked before the engine rebuilt and I never had problems so it can't be that.
Did I make a stupid simple but yet common mistake somewhere?? I don't have any crazy oil leaks due to extreme pressure, just minor small drops from the oil pan and/or my turbo oil drain tube because i did not tighten the bolt good.
I hope someone can point me in the right direction here. I did all the research I could have done but I can't figure out anything after checking some of the common problems.
Please HELP!!! I want to be able to boost my new 50-trim to a nice 20 psi without worrying about things popping out.
