Question
MDelgado
Hello, I have a 02 Tahoe with a 5.3L flex fuel, which I recently supercharged. It has a K&N FIPK and flowmaster catback. I was recently testing the install, when I noticed a burning smell. Whe I opened the hood, come to find out the dipstick was 3" out of the tube and it looks as though oil shot out, hit the hood, and went all over the engine and headers (making the burning smell). It got me thinking, how does the crank case pressure release? My old tahoe with a 5.7 had a breather tube on the valve covers, but the 5.3 doesn't. Is it possible the pressure inside the engine built so much that it shot out the dip stick tube???
