Dip stick popping out... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So i rarely show my motor off and do anything crazy, but I did it yesterday on the onramp to the 101... I was shifting at around 6000 rpm and by the time I hit 4th, smoke in the rearview mirror... heart sinks but that car still drives normally. So the dipstick popped out about an inch and shot oil on the manifold. What caused this? How can this be prevented? It has happened once before. Also, the car feels a little sluggish at low throttle below 3500 rpm and it has been runinng a little warm but not overheating.

Thanks,
Ryan
