It sounds to me like it could be that your piston rings are not sealing very well and letting the cylinder compression leak into the crank case therefore creating pressure in there and popping the dipstick out. I am sure there are more people on here that have seen this and can correct me if I am wrong but this is what it sounds like to me. Theo ---

> [@bing](#): > > i have read many times of guys having this problem yet their engines have great compression numbers and so…iono > > this also happens to me so i just removed the dipstick and routed a hose to the catchcan… Bing, This is the EXACT problem I have with my talon. Compression is better than factory and yet my dipstick pops all the time. When I did a leakdown test the results were in the 20 % range. Im still driving the car but the rings are in need of replacement. Oh the car also eats oil. Nevertheless Id lean towards rings in this case. I say if you can live with it then who cares if the car makes good power. Once it lets go worry about it then. ---
