Crankcase Pressure S70

I was just guesing the compression stroke would raise the crankcase pressure. Probably wrong. Pressure should be around 150psi on all 5 cyl, +-10%

There is enough air moving through the engine compartment at speed to blow the oil dropplets everywhere. Also take the cover off the timing belt and check the seals on the cam shafts.

Be careful washing the oil off the top of the block. Water will drain down to the sparkplug holes and you will have to remove the water with a cloth in each plug hole - been there, done that!

Nice puzzle,

Klaus
