Re: Oil in Distributor..!Help!
The distributor shaft has an oil groove that while rotating the oil moves rearward and back to the engine, If the groove is blocked with caked dirt, the distributor main shaft is worn (0.8625 as Mfg. & 0.861 wear limit) or the bushing is worn (0.863 as Mfg. & 0.8655 wear limit) these could effect the ability of the groove to return the oil. Make sure the engine oil fill vent (at the top of the fuel pump adaptor) is clean, if excessive pressure builds up, in the engine, it will force oil out.

I found a picture when I assembled my motor. If you can see, probably that hole can be blocked with paint. When I took the dist out, never noticed that hole I did not know that It existed. I must check that Thank Mart.

When the engine came from grinding shop, the man told me to use old oil, this was to wash the engine and afterwards change the old oil to a new one. All what I say above happened two years ago. I must check all you mention OR ... a splash of mud, road tare, dead rodent ,,, and have plugged the vent, at the right front corner of the oil pan, its a small triangle shaped looking down, with a small vent hole to the back side ...should be clear, open or with steelwool in the opening ?? so it will vent ?? Maybe that"s where your squeal is coming from ?? I really thank your opinion

Today I could finally take the dist out. I found that the small hole was BLOCKED, very blocked that I needed a strong tool to clean it. I changed dist gasket I assembled all again. I said that there was a little noise, when I started the engine, noise begun but in a second it stopped. All this after have cleaned the small hole you show in pic. I must drive my car to know if there is something strange. What do you think? I really thank all for your time and help. Hary

Re: Oil in Distributor..!Help!
Well, I'm bringing this thread back because it is much of the same happening with my 1cm engine. This is a new build with only a few hours on it and about 2 miles on the AV8. I'm chasing a misfire and decided to pull the crab distr and check the inside. I have noticed an oil drip coming from the front but thought it was from the crankshaft. When I got the distr out I noticed oil collected inside and was dripping out where the cap went on. The oil was traveling through to the rotor. Pulled the rotor and inside was wet with oil and dripped down and out the cap. A few pics. To be cont.

Re: Oil in Distributor..!Help!
There are no plugged holes that I can see. The pressure buildup idea seams to be an answer, but there is a breather where fuel pump was. Also has a pcv valve setup. How is the oil getting to the inside? I see some brass filings in there too. Any ideas? No slop in the shaft/bushings.

Re: Oil in Distributor..!Help!
Two thoughts...
1. Is shaft loose in rear bushing? I suspect that you didn't overlook that, but check it out. 2. More subtle, possibly related to that oil inside rotor...there is an internal feed there. Remove shaft, look for a TINY hole in area of front bushing. Oil finds its way into shaft back at rear bearing area, meanders though a passage filled with some sort of cloth/fiber, oils bushing up front through a pinhole. Obviously if working correctly oil delivery is very limited. I do not know if or how this system could go mad and somehow pass too much oil, but check it out. Maybe something weird involving that, which would give a reasonable explanation for some of your symptoms. |

Re: Oil in Distributor..!Help!
To add to what Bruce said, remove the wick plug between the drive keys, clean the threads and reinstall with sealant. Make sure it is tight or stake it in place if necessary. Don't thread it in too far or it may get trapped inside the shaft.

Re: Oil in Distributor..!Help!
And the small brass filings come from the rotor tip more than likely , we usually clearance the rotor a bit.
The oil is a mystery to me for sure assuming the bleed is open ..???????? Someone have a answer ?????????? |
