So i got a phone call last night at 1am, my buddies cobalt ss is sitting on the side of the 1xx with oil everywhere (oooo no)! Needless to say i get there and there is oil everywhere, i pop the hood and its covered in oil, i look down and the dip stick is pushed up. what could cause so much pressure in the crankcase? bad rings, hole in piston, vaccum line for ventillation? ---

What mods are done? The intake manifold has a bad design where cylinder number 4 runs leaner then the rest. If someone tuned it and tuned it to lean to start, it wouldn’t help things. ---
