Help!

I have gas shooting out of my valve cover breather on my Hemi predator 212 I just bought used. It was fine till I revved it up. Would it just be something stuck in my carb and needs a clean out or rebuild?? Or something more serious??

Thanks!!

gas has NOTHING to do in your valve cover!

so if it's in fact gas that's shooting out, you have a serious problem!
(valve seat is not unlikely to be the cause)

So I just got home and pulled my crank case plug and he whole tank of gas was in my crank case. I guess when I had tipped it up to work on the front end it had all drained through the carb. Made one **** of a mess! Hopefully I didn’t mess up anything to bad with all the pressure

No.. What happened is... Mostlikely you forgot to turn off the fuel petcock, thus the tank drained into the crank case...
After running it, the fuel evaporated a bit... Caused a bit of internal pressure and Thus the gas/oil out the breather...

Ask how I know... Has happened to me several times... ... Forgot to shut off the fuel...

Another tell is, if the motor leaks around the crankcase cover bottom...
It's not a Harley, it's a Honda(clone)... It don't leak...

The motor is fine... Drain completely... Fill with regular Dino oil..new gas. Giver...

Will synthetic not be good for it? I had some laying around so that’s what I refilled it with

it wont really hurt it, itll be fine... but really its an industrial engine, so using the cheap stuff saves you a bit of money..

If the needle valve in your carburetor is good, you should not have to shut the fuel off to avoid filling your crank case.

However, if you tip it on its side for an extended period you definitely need to shut the fuel off.
