MY 1989 244 B230F DECIDED IT WAS GOING TO BLOW OIL OUT OF THE FRONT CAM SEAL AND REAR MAIN SEAL THE OTHER DAY. I CHECKED AND CLEANED BOTH THE OIL TRAP AND FLAME TRAP. THESE WERE NOT CLOGGED AND THUS I DON'T KNOW WHAT COULD BE CAUSING SUCH HIGH CRANKCASE PRESSURE. THE FRONT CAM SEAL IS ONLY ABOUT TWO YEARS OLD, SO I KNOW IT IS PROBABLY NOT DEFECTIVE.

I ALSO HAVE AN 88' 245 THAT I CHECKED AND CLEANED THE FLAME AND OIL TRAP ON AND IT WILL "JIGGLE" THE OIL CAP IF I DO THE "JIGGLE TEST" AS I HAVE HEARD IT DESCRIBED WHEN YOU LOOSE THE OIL CAP AND SEE IF IT BOUNCES IN A PRESSURE COOKER FASHION.

BOTH CARS RUN GREAT AND USED/USE NO OIL, SO I DOUBT THE RINGS COULD BE FAULTY. ANY ADVICE IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED.
