Re: oil pan gasket blown
When you are in a left side curve, the majority of the oil go in the right side of the pan! that is where the gasket have blow out. And yes the PCV valve was ouked up but i think it was defective and have let the boost goes in the block! When i have removed the oil pan on the car it left about 1.5liter of oil in it! Enough when you are in straight line but in a curve under boost the 2 passenger side rod bearing haven't get enough oil and they have failed!

When there is 1 gallon of oil in the engine, yes it is barely impossible to turn long enough for the pump to suck air but when the gasket blow and about 3/4 of the oil get out of the engine, and there about 1/4gallon of oil left in the engine it was really easy to make the pump suck air!

Re: oil pan gasket blown
my car has done the same thing. when i boost it blows the oilpan gasket out from between the pan and the block. with about 45 sec of boost i will loose about 1 qt of oil all over my firewall and the ground as it sprays out. like Speedy2k my pvc is disconnected. i have good compression 205 205 222 222 i am not burning any oil i checked the plugs. im hoping that someone can answer this one since everyone i know has no idea

if you care about the engine, use honda bearings. Ive heard guys use acl bearings and napa bearings etc ok too. Just plastiguage it and make sure your clearances are within spec on every bearing before you put it together

Re: oil pan gasket blown
this boggles my mind...are you guys disconnecting the pcv from the intake but leaving it in there or something? ive run more than one motor with the pcv removed with tons of boost and re-used gaskets and never had one problem. anyway speedy, if your bearings are shot, what does the crank look like? if its fubar, just getting new bearings wont help much
