Let’s build a race car

It looks like the crud underneath an oil filler cap from moisture in the oil on a car that’s always short tripped. It would take a whole lot of water to do that, though.

Isn't the motor new or am I lost in the thread somehow? I'd suspect too much injector or something.

Old motor in race car. Probably have it confused with the brand new racing motor in the Hellcat.

Very short tripped, first oil change since getting the race car together.

Car idles 100% better. Must have been the ptfe paste I used and just basically never did shit.

No I don’t have a headgasket leak. E85 contamination. Catch can was bone dry. Might need to change that.

Ptfe paste is very hit or miss. I put way too much on (which is the right amount)

Intercooler bricks are good and fluid level steady? Blow out oring maybe?

 

[Unholy707]

I think it’s 100% possible for that to be e85 contamination (like I’ve been saying for years) but curious about the 3.0

there are many situations however I am going to say this right now...

THERE IS NO BLOWN HEADGASKET

So now that we have that established there were some things that come with running a race car

1.) My engine temps never get hotter than 165, car never runs long enough to do so. Any fuel/water in the oil will not cook off into the catch cans
2.) Catch cans are mounted at the front of the valve covers, it was recommended to move them to the rear, I will give it a shot.
3.) Catch can is the same one on BlackbirdX, it is this model: https://vibrantperformance.com/gen3-catch-can-assembly/ I have no doubts that it's the best in the business. If Geoff is running it, there's a reason.
4.) When I went wot wot on the dyno pass the car simply does not get hot. Good problem to have, bad problem for my oil. I will try and let the car idle more, even without turning on the IC pump, and fans it still takes about 15 minutes to get up to any temp.
5.) Holley gen 3 hemi harness does not have a oil temp sensor, the oil temp sensor has no public data so I'd be left to put in a holley or low-doller sensor and keep tabs on it if cts was only 140 in this pass, oil was probably just as cold.

Also peep that drive shaft speed sensor... it's doing it's thing!

Also that MAT temperature is taken from the front passenger TMAP sensor. No ice.

 

[Speedy!]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say blown head gasket. LMAO J/K
