What causes engine oil to blow by into the air filter box?
If any cylinder tests low squirt a small amount of oil or transmission fluid into the corresponding spark plug hole and perform the test again. If the compression raises after applying oil then the piston ring for that cylinder is bad and is likely the cause of the oil blow-by. Repairing Internal Problems
What happens if you blow the head gasket on a Jeep Wrangler?
In some occasions, the head gasket will get burned between two cylinders, causing a gap that will let the compression/ combustion of one cylinder to leak into the other and vice-versa. If this happens, in a Jeep 4.0L Cherokee (or Grand Cherokee, Wrangler), this will cause a No Start Condition.
What should I do if my Jeep Wrangler is hot?
What this test will confirm is if the head gasket is letting engine compression into the cooling system (radiator) or not. Now, if the engine in your Jeep 4.0L Cherokee (or Grand Cherokee, Wrangler) has been running for a while and it’s hot, let it cool down for about an hour, since a radiator cap should never be removed with the engine hot.
When to take radiator cap off Jeep Wrangler?

What does it mean when your crankcase breather is blowing oil?
If your crankcase breather is passing oil, chances are that something’s wrong (Okay, we know something’s wrong, but don’t be too alarmed). Here are some things to look for while you’re searching for the source of the issue:
Where is the positive crankcase ventilation valve located?
The positive crankcase ventilation or PCV valve is connected to the air intake tube via a rubber vacuum hose that uses the engines natural vacuum to prevent excessive pressure build up in the engine crankcase. In most casts the PCV valve can be removed by pulling it out of the valve cover grommet and then removing the rubber vacuum hose.
Is the vent from the PCV valve back into the air?
There is something called a pcv/ccv which has a tiny hole and acts as a valve. Usually further away from the front of the vehicle. Then, what I think OP is asking about, is basically a vent that goes into your air filter which is often misidentified as a pvc valve and ordered incorrectly because they look identical at a glance.

What causes a lawn mower to leak oil through the breather tube?
Tipped Lawnmower. If you tip a lawnmower greater than 15 degrees with its carburetor pointing downward, then oil can leak from the crankcase and into the breather tube. The breather tube is connected to the carburetor, which connects to the air filter.
What should the idle mixture be on a Honda motorcycle?
Once the engine begins to misfire, back the idle mixture screw out just until the misfire stops. This is the optimal idle mixture setting. The midrange is checked by speeding the engine up to about 1/2 throttle.
What does a lean misfire on a Honda motorcycle mean?
A lean misfire indicates that the midrange jet is too small and must be increased at least one size. White exhaust gas indicates excessive free hydrocarbons (unburned fuel), and a too-large jet that must be decreased by at least one size.
Can a Honda air cleaner run without an air filter?
We continued this until the gas stopped coming. All together, we probably bailed a gallon of gas out of the air cleaner housing. Now, it will start and seems to run fine without the air filter. We washed it (air filter), let it dry, but it still won’t idle with the air filter in place.
How long has gas been leaking from Honda air cleaner?
It took a couple of weeks for the new boot to come in and for the swing arm bolt tool to come in. Altogether, it was on jack stand for about 3 weeks. This weekend we finished the repair, but when we were putting the new boot on, we noticed gasoline leaking out of the output shaft.
Why is the rear seat jacked up on my Honda ATV?
The rear being jacked up has nothing to do with the fuel in the air box. I had a reply that stated the float/needle seat was hanging open or the plastic float was full of gas making it stay down. The reply also noted to be sure the vent lines on the carb were not clogged.
Why does my Honda ATV keep spewing gas?
We kept cranking it and bailing gas, and eventually, the ATV started, but after a couple of seconds more gas would start spewing, and it would die. We continued this until the gas stopped coming. All together, we probably bailed a gallon of gas out of the air cleaner housing. Now, it will start and seems to run fine without the air filter.
