Feelings are funny. I felt exactly the same way till today. my friend has 2 12v’s and was the one who suggested it to me. I was like no way! But when you take the oil cap off or the PCV out of the TIP oil splashed around. That ms at idle…I was doing a cam break in which is rather violent lol…
So I’m my mind
A majority must’ve come from there. I replaced the motor mount but not the transmission mount or the dog bone. So the motor does tilt and It’s sits noticeably higher on the front of the engine.
So, if you couple that the procedure for cam breaking, which calls for reving the RPM between 2020 500 RPMs for 25 to 30 minutes
I’d fully expect to loose a bit of oil. Hindsight is 20/20
I used varying pedal techniques for the can proceed . I did not just held my foot in one position. Whipping the pedal up and down would be like taking a fork to some eggs and beating them around rapidly and wildly. still I dont think the motor sprays and splashes around that much even tilted back.
I was using a cracked oil dipstick while I was waiting for the one to come in the mail today, so there is another place where a small amount of air was ‘whipped’ into the oiling system. Still seems doubtful bit more plausible
regardless, the engine was a mess I’ve cleaned it up quite a bit but it’s shiny with an oily sheen, and it still has the slight stench of oil while driving around with the heat on.
Oh also the oil filter housing gasket procedure called for 11 foot pounds of torque +90° turn if I recall correctly. Well I did put a TQ wrench l on it on that again, (I choose 24 foot pounds for complicated reasons that’s a good ) and I did get a little bit of movement out of three of the four bolts one of them About 15 degrees . The motor was warm at that time. Maybe it came from there? maybe it was a perfect storm I don’t know..
What I do know is the car this far is fine
I put dye in the day after the spill snd refilled it the oil hosing a re- torqued the vac pump too just in case they were right. Did the n18 and 239 delete snd clean up , still this morning after being on the frost heater all night not a trace or Predator blood with my UV light and yellow glasses. That oil is green when you look at it with your eyeballs! lol I guess I put too much in? Meh oil gets another 500 miles before i’m going to change it to finish the cam breaking procedure. So it shouldn’t hurt too much. I figure the next change of oil might have some leftover dye in it. Big deal .
Again there was no sight of dye anywhere! I’m shocked chirping the tires around town clean driving only have 15.7 real miles on it right now , so I need to give it some more stress , but I was doing VCDS logs after it was fully warmed up for a while tooo. Car’a KW was 1.5 it stretched to 1 sometiems bounces up to 1.5, that’s definitely almost perfectly inspect really. I put a budget stage to cam from Cascade German in. Maybe that has something to do with it? Nobody really knows why V dub gave the factory KW value , but maybe it was just where the engine wanted to be, when everything else was set perfectly i.e. camlock crank lock and cam sprocket beer center? Unlikely lol I’m about to take a warm up cruise snd abuse tho then prolly put it in the garage for the night. Tomorrow if all good I have to go to pick n pull to get a power steering pump for my jeep , then I gotta get some kind of ball end or Clevis pin to fix my z3’s AC and get it back together and for sale !
