March 22, 200521 yr Often when i check the ea81t's oil, the dipstick has been blown up out of its seat by about 2cm so that it doesn't seal. I cant see how the crank case would be subjected to a positive pressure, since i know that the pcv hose from the right rocker cover to the intake hose is not blocked. Any ideas on what causes this? Cheers.
March 22, 200521 yr I had a EA81T and a have a EA82T that do it also. I attribute it to leaky valve seals and rings.
March 22, 200521 yr Author nsane']Two words: duct tape Nah, im from new zealand, we use #8 wire 'round here
March 22, 200521 yr Author #8 wire = fencing wire. just kidding though, i wont really use it to hold the dipstick in! Its just one of those stereotypes about nz'ers, that we use #8 wire for everything. No doubt it will get held in with insulation tape, like most other loose things on my cars.
March 22, 200521 yr my uncle has a toyota cressida that blows the dipstick out, he piped it to the rocker cover breather inlet, has'nt had a problem with it since

March 22, 200521 yr #8 wire = fencing wire. The REALLY ol' timers here in The States refer to it as bailing wire, as in, "It's held together with spit and bailing wire." Us younger ( ) kids prefer duct tape (aka "racer's tape").
