please can some one help me.
i am only 14 years old and am lucky enough to have an uncle who lets me work on his two rs turbos.
one of the cars (escort running 250+ bhp) has started regularly destroying breathers ang gaskets (sump gasket in particular) and when i say regularly i mean every drive!
i am asuming this is to do with crank case pressure? the car is still on the factory oil breather (bailys is on order)
the wierd thing is that the car seems to have slightly low oil pressure.
should i change the oil pressure relief valve and oil pressure switch?
could my crank case pressure problem be due to worn or incorrect piston rings? also i noticed when i had the sump off the the oil pump is about 1mm to low at one side and 1mm proud at the other where it meets the block (looking at it from under the car) this is the corner that starts leaking first on the sump gasket, do i need to realine the oil pump so it sits flush?
any help would be greatly recieved as i am still learning about these wonderfull machines.
thanks
