zetec install

hi

anyone had problems with engine breathing on a zetec i have put a crankcase breather on but it spits oil out when the revs are hi. Do i need to put a baffle in the cam cover? my oil pressure is a bit hi but i dont think thats the problem

anyone got any ideas?

thanks

You may find its something to do with the sump and oil pickup etc.

Many of the Zetec installations fail to correct the sump baffling for the longditudinal fitment of the engine relying on the transverse layouts baffling etc..

Think about fitting Raceline sump and wingage tray system. Or perhaps your engine is tired and breathing hard, rings shot? Try a compression test.
