What could be causing this oil leak? 1988 4.0 6 4x4 136,000


Recommended Posts

So i put new lifters, rods, and rockers in 4.0 6 4x4 1988 comanche and now…. After everything put back together I'm blowing oil but can't figure out where. Its under driver side of engine … all over side wall and just everywhere.

I have not done piston rings or valve stem seals. Aggravatingly, in the back of my mind, i feel like thats coming. But compression is great all across 127-130. Which had me thinking rings were good. I take oil cap off and no suction or air coming from oil cap. (Which is where the oil is also coming from). I did the valve cover mod. I still have a knock/tick thing which after everything i have done sounds like maybe a  wrist pin. 🤷🏻‍♀️. Cause no skirts or anything in pan. Does the oil pump have pressure or/is supposed to be regulated? I will say oil shoots out like geysers outta of lifters/rockers. I'm running 15w40 diesel oil. Wondering should i run 10w30 now since i have replaced a bunch of stuff
