    I Ck Dip Stick Tube And Tapped In In Tighter, But I Have Oil Leakig From Around Distributor Where It Goes In Block And Some Spits Out At Top Of Tube Where Dip Stick Goes In. Is This A Major Problem Or Does Distributor Have Orings That Seal When Put In Block. I Have Never Taken It Out Before. Any In Put Would Be Great. You Guys Have Been Great To Talk With. Hope I Gave Enough Information.

    I'm not sure what the solution is, but it kinda' sounds like you're building crankcase pressure? Maybe one of the experts can offer more, those guys are incredible with what they know.

    Breather on the Barbie

    You might want to try the breather on the barbie trick. Even if its not your problem it will be good for the engine:) Make sure to use lots of jalepenas:D

    (Really, you will be shocked at what comes out of the thing after its cooked and it could be what is stoping your crankcase from breathing right)

    Really , you should read up on the road draft tube posts and consider BBQ'ing it as bead blasting not only won't get the crud out , it'll ruin your engine in short order ~ replacing the oil filler cap shouldn't have fixed the problem ....
