erixpulsar Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 so i just got a 94 accord lx sedan. i randomly just took off the oil filling cap. (the one you twist off to put the oil in) while the car's on, and i feel air pressure coming out. is that normal? or do i have some kind of gasket or ring problem? haven't come across that before.

xer0 Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 i am no expert, but can i just ask why u would do that? are you stupid? lets remove a cover to a pressurized system that has hot liquids in it. next time try the radiator k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick B. Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 look, xero is an ass, we all know that and have come to love em for it. but being a weiner to one of the regulars isnt a very quick way at getting your questions answered. dont ever take a cover off of a pressurized system, im sure it even talks about it in your owners manual. if it didnt have pressure, then i would be worried.

Xeryon Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 Out of stupidity I once took the oil fill cap off on my 4.0 jeep (same are xeros I think). Yea, it wasn't pretty. I wouldn't take any covers off of a running vehicle if I were you. Internal pressure in the engine seems very likely to me. Lots of moving parts would cause lots of air movement too.

cranny Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 for one thing , its not a pressureized system , not air tight anyways. for another , it will not hurt a thing , except your clothes when little driplets hit ya , lol. i dont recommend sticking your fingers in the hole though , lol.

Ben. Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 .. Why would you do that? So the valves and whatnot can sling oil everywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off Topic: but nothing is wrong with jeeps, and the rest of the thread above makes no mention of jeeps whatsoever, except for the fact that I had a jeep like yours and I took the oil fill cap off of mine and made a mess. Oh, and like cranny says, you won't really hurt anything by taking it off, but I wouldn't stick my finger in there either. At one time or another I have opened just about every fluid container on my cars while the vehicles are running. The worst is the p/s. If you have the wheels turned just a little bit the pump will be running, and if it is full you end up with fluid everywhere. Found that out the hard way on an 86 GMC 24' box truck. I think it was a 400 or a 454 and the p/s resivoir is like 1/2 gallon, so it was A LOT of fluid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
