Oil consumption
Hello again. I have rebuilt the motor and still in the process of the break-in, but I am still having an issue with oil consumption. Here is what I have done to date:
1: machine shop rebuilt the block and head
2: installed rebuilt IP and Rebuilt injectors
3: timed for elevation
4: timed IP (done by Central Motive Power)
5: rebuilt turbo
One thing I have noticed is that a lot of misted oil is being blown out of the Pressure Control Vave and into the intake pipe (probably contributed to the heavy coking in the turbo). Also, it seems to increase when under a heavy load while climbing hills and mountain roads (this is an 7k lb truck!)
It does seem to smoke way less than before, and I do intend to increase turbo boost since I am at largest oversized pistons and three notch head gasket. Does anyone have any advice for me on this? There are no leaks on the block at all, aside from a slight leak on my power steering high pressure hose.
Thanks in advance,
Phil
