The folks at the Volvo factory website suggested I contact you... after
seeing some of your posts, I am most impressed! Now, I NEED HELP!!! My '83
DL wagon (B23F) has recently developed a case of extreme crankcase pressure. I noted on more than one occasion that the oil dip-stick had been blown up from the tube, spraying oil throughout the engine compartment. I replaced the original flame-trap element with the newer factory plastic resin type, cleaned the manifold orfices, changed the oil and filter and checked the results. Once again, the oil dip-stick was blown up, and another oil-bath was applied to the engine compartment. The only way I can make he dipstick remain in place is to use an elastic cord holding the stick to the manifold. I am obviously missing something here... How else can I relieve this pressure? Will a crankcase flush with a recognized cleaner help? Is there another area where sludge may be blocking the PCV system? I am at my wit's end here, and really need the knowledge of one of you gurus out there. I love this machine more than any vehicle I have ever possessed, and want to maintain it in the best possible condition till death do us part! Thanks for ANY input!
