Oil is blowing out of the vent in the valve cover on my 1200...Any suggestions?

Cracked piston ring or way too much oil in the crankcase. Hopefully the later. A compression check will tell all.

Thanks, Todd I just changed the oil, how much is left in the engine after it is drained? I mentioned oil system problems a while back, could this be thier manifestations? The level on the dipstick appears to be correct. I hope its not a piston, but it may be at least an opportunity for an engine swap. I recently purchased a 93 integra W/ a b18a2. Does anyone know the spefics o' this motor? The car is fine, but I would consider putting another one in my civic. Is this what any o' you guys have? Thanks....Tony T.

I have also heard that there is a gas to liquid seperator in the valve cover. Could this have blown out or something? The oil coming out is thin, it may be mixing with water or something? It comes out very fast, but the engine seems ot run o.k. I will do a compression test later and let you guys know what I find. Thanks, Tony T.

It depends on the trim of the integra... GRS has 170hp... and the LS has 140hp.... good engines.. a lot of work to fit in... I am doing a full front tubular subframe to fit my b16a engine in.
