It will also blow a small amount of oil onto the valve cover. |

I understand that the timing chain guides and oil pump chain drive are on borrowed time at this mileage. The tensioning rail on the SD had a groove about .06 deep. Nothing to worry about at this point, but, at 300K I'd bet that it was close to wearing through the lining. |

If the chain drive fails, you won't have enough time, unless you were watching the gauge 24/7. Doing the head and the top end won't avail you of the capability to do the oil pump chain drive. |

mine dosn't move at all, just hangs right with the engine, when removed and hand put over filler hole, no pressure builds, so i think i'm in pretty good shape @ 191900k

To check blowby
Don't I need to plug the line that goes into the air cleaner while watching the oil filler cap? Otherwise a portion of the potential blowby would go into the line?

Maybe they go a very long time with tolerances way out of the original manufacturing spec, like most other things on this engine. |
