Been having trouble with leaking oil on the motor since putting paxton 1200 on. It was coming out of the air intake side of the head unit. Though it might of been blow back. Ended up getting rid of the PCV and running a catch can but now I have started getting oil out of the carby enclosure where the bottom and top part join. Opened the enclosure up and found a pool of oil on the bottom. To me that means a seal is gone on the charger unit. Am I wrong?

The thing has only done 2000 mile and it annoys the cr$p out of me.

 

I am also running a supercharger and am in the process of putting on a crankcase evacuation kit to reduce crankcase pressure. You may want to consider doing it on your setup as well. Here is a link to Small block ford tech dot com and a great discussion about the benefits of them.

Well I might be missing something, but I want to think the only way oil can be getting to the intake box is going to be through the seal in the blower.

You have eliminated PCV as a source of the oil unless the oil in the intake box has been there since before you ditched the PCV.

While the realist in me says bad blower seal, I want to think that maybe the oil in the box is there from when the PCV was in place. It could stay there for a long time.

Even so, excessive oil being sucked in from a properly functioning PCV is not good.

 

With a blower, the PCV valve usually doesn't seal tight enough to keep pressure from entering the crankcase under boost, so it blows oil back out of the intake side. I don't know where the intake side is on your motor. On fuel injected motors, it is on the intake tube before the TB. This is a common problem on 4.6L motors with blowers (I have some on mine). Ford installed an equalizing tube to try to solve this problem, but it still happens. The solution, per the 'experts', is to put a one-way valve inline with the PCV - like these: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalo...checkvalve.php

Pricey but thinking that's what I'm going to use.

That may not be your problem, but if you are running the PCV and getting the fresh air through the intake, it might be. If not, it sounds like a bad seal on the blower.

 

No PCV and have just cleaned out the carby enclosure and inlet pipe, will take it for a drive today and give it some boost and see what happens. Otherwise off with the head unit to get the seals checked out. Is that and expensive repair?

 

I think Vortech charges about $370 for a rebuild.

 

Is a rebuild needed just to fix the seals. The unit has only done about 2000 miles at the most.

 

The guy that told me about the crankcase evacuation system was having problems with his turbos smoking. The excessive pressure caused the turbo to leak oil. He added the EVAC system and the problem went away. I would certantly try a $50 fix before sending off a blower for a rebuild and then finding out it may still have the same problem.
