Cars burning/spewing oil

Sky, I'm sorry to hear about it! I personally would never recommend a high volume oil pump. They're not necessary, and only put more stress on your engine.

The oil that is coming up through your pushrods is probably resembling the water coming out of a fire hose. I'm sure you have a baffle underneath the breather, but even that's not enough. How old are your rockers/pushrods? The older and more worn they are, the messier it's going to be. Another possibility is that you blew a seal out. Verify where the oil is coming from.

Hey, when does your store open? I still want to check it out!

Take care

Sky-I have to agree with Chris, unless your motor has the bearing clearances opened up to need the Hi-Volume it will cause a ton of excess pressure and pump oil up to the heads faster then it can return it.

The best thing I did was replace my Hi-Volume with the standard volume this past winter, Now I don't have breathing issues, leaky gaskets or all that stress on the oil pump drive shaft, I broke 2 teeth of the distributor gear which was brand new. HV pumps put 30% more stress on the shaft and distributor gear and rob HP.

I think on the N20 it is just reving so fast that the oil is in the heads most likey almost filling the valve covers and it has to go somewhere so it drips out the K&N bretaher.
