Oil coming out of my air filter help!

Borrelli49 · December 12th, 2011, 11:09 AM

I just purchased this 1996 GT with a 4.6 says the the guy i got it from it has an svo head,intake, and an Eaton supercharger. The supercharger sits below the intake ive never seen one like this before. I thought at first it was a bad PCV valve and it helped but im still noticing some oil coming from the air filter the first time it happened 2 quarts dripped out. and it only drips out after i hit full boost and shut the car off? any help would be great!

Tang Stang · December 12th, 2011, 12:21 PM

Post pics of your setup, specifically of the PCV arrangement (both sides). It sounds like it may not be routed correctly.

I hope that "2 quarts" was an exaggeration!

Borrelli49 · December 12th, 2011, 12:49 PM

I also forgot to mention i unpluged some on the vaccum lines t-ed off of it and it seemed to help and i havnt noticed any oil leaking back out at this point but im at work now and will post pictures later. and i was not exaggerating on the 2 quarts. that only happened once tho, the second time about 1/4 quart came out

It sounds like that is where the problem lies (the PCV line routing).

Borrelli49 · December 12th, 2011, 01:54 PM

but the pcv routing has not been messed with its still the stock set up

Which is an issue, since you're running the SVO supercharger.

Borrelli49 · December 12th, 2011, 02:13 PM

The only thing is I cant find any information on the SVO set up. talked to some techs at the ford dealer today and they are all thinking i might have a cracked piston but i figured if i did i would be burning oil and it would just be obvious. does anyone have some info on the SVO PCV setup??? Im going to run some compression testing on it later when i get off work

97S281 · December 12th, 2011, 03:03 PM

I have the svo heads and blower. Here is a pic of where mine goes.

It comes out of the pcv valve and makes a very short jouney to the lower port on the back of the blower elbow you see in the pick.

I have never had any problems with oil in my air filter from it.

97S281 · December 12th, 2011, 03:05 PM

FYI, If you are runing the svo blower you are technically NOT running the svo intake as well. The svo intake looks like the bullitt intake. The setup is not stock. It was made available by Ford Motorsport SVO in 1998.

This is the svo intake:

I have one just in case I decide to go Turbo in a few years.

Welcome to the forums. Glad we could answer some of your questions. Feel free to PM ( private Message) me if you need any other pics of my setup to help you get yours sorted out.

Borrelli49 · December 12th, 2011, 07:30 PM

ok i ran a compression check on it and the entire right side bank all ran at about 40 PSI the left side bank ran at about 160-180. We ran a wet check on it and the heads seem to be ok looks like Manley pistons and connecting rods now??

OptionalStang · December 12th, 2011, 09:12 PM

check for oil in coolant? headgasket maby or ring seals? ive always loved that svo charger..

Tang Stang · December 13th, 2011, 09:36 AM

Sounds like you have much larger problems than just a PCV issue then.

Borrelli49 · December 13th, 2011, 12:26 PM

Now my question is what to do. i have a $3500 window and ill be doing the work. ive been looking at short blocks and i can get a forged short block for about 2800.

OptionalStang · December 13th, 2011, 09:09 PM

^ Fk it must be nice...hahah i feel happy when i get to spend 200 on my car..but anyways for that cash id get a 32V,cobra intake it and cam the shit out of it and go from there..

1996 GT · December 13th, 2011, 10:05 PM

^ LMAO, this is the truth. I spent 220$ the other week and was like awwwhhhhh yeahhhh.

Borrelli49 · December 13th, 2011, 10:21 PM

But if i go that route my blower would not fit i know that blower does not produce alot of power but i have it so why not use it. I think im just going to go with a Forged Bored and Stroked short block that way what every i throw at it down the road my bottom end can take it

1996 GT · December 13th, 2011, 10:27 PM

Forged short block + forged h-beam rods + forged crank (if plan on seeing past 600hp) + stage two blower cams is the route id take imo.

I'm not going to lie, if i could afford it with no troubles, id be all over that in a second.

What heads and cams do you plan on using?

Borrelli49 · December 13th, 2011, 10:42 PM
