Another blowby video

Trying to get some feed back on this blowby test.. I know I need to do a compression test but I just don't have the time right now.. Truck runs strong and starts up fine but smokes a lot from ccv tube. No excessive smoke from exhuast maybe a small puff on a cold start. Thanks

Looks kinda like my truck

It's excessive imo.

I've haven't done s compression test yet.

Mine still runs good.. I want to do some 230/100 and s366 but if the engine toast then I gotta use that money for a rebuild. I'll try to get compression test soon to find out for sure

You using any oil?

A little bit. I've got pretty high mileage (264K) with the last 70k or so being beat on.

Its definitely more than Im used to seeing. How many miles? Whats maintenance history?

Do the comp test when you have the time. Putting a turbo and injectors on it certainly wont change it right away, but I get not wanting to spend money in the wrong order.

That's more then my truck at 365,000 miles. With about 170,000 of those being beat on.

The blowby on my 2002 was worse than that. All 8 compression tested 350 psi, and ran great, but a BIG factor is how well the engine has been taken care of maintenance wise...

Not to be rude, but what does it matter? Some motors just seem to blow-by more than others. If you're not noticing any detrimental effects, then just run it until you do. Not like you can do anything to make the rings seal better.

I don't think you have too much blow-by. You'll be fine.

That's my thought process on this as well. I'm gonna run it till a rod pops or something else lets go.

Exactly my point!

yes we can agree that blowby gets talked about way too much and does not determine engine sealing health. Every diesel Ive ever been around puffs in various amounts from the draft tube or oil fill cap while running. Carry on...
