I am Back.Well Marv I changed the oil/it seemed to be ok,it didn't have a strong diesel smell,it wasn't thin,I checked the stick, it was half way up between the lines on the stick seemed good.I did notice on the air filter oily spot that is next to the crank case filter.....I understand these engines were truck engines and thay mite not have taken into consideration the tilt of the engine on plain an all the oil runs aft to create pressure an blow by.If I take an old filter and drill a 1/2" hole ,fit with brass gromit on the top of filter and run it to the middle of the air filter and do the same on the cover and insert in 1/2" or so may be that would take care of it .What do you think??? |

David. I have the same problem with my staboard engine. It appears the the oil is leaking from the base of the base of the crankcase filter (were it is crimped to the base) and not the relief, thus not caused by crankcase pressure. I am looking at sealing the base of the crankcase filter. I will let you know how I get on. |

I wouldn't plumb the crankcase filter to the air filter, you will oil the core of your aftercooler causing it to be restricted and your turbo would not be able to provide all the boost it should. Racor manufactures a remote crankcase filter that you should be able to adapt. |
