I cleaned out the breather tube, cleaned the valve cover & used gasket, put a previously used gasket on with some high temp RTV flange sealant in the groove and on the face.
- I removed and cleaned the little oil tube that goes across the intake manifold where it bolts to the head. The breather tube dumps into this.
- I buttoned it all up and took her to the quarter car wash and washed the engine, engine bay, trans, & underside of the car to remove the oil from the fiasco yesterday.
- I ran her at 60 for a couple miles, went home and found no oil leaks this time. New oil fill seal seems to be doing the job
- I bought a diesel compression tester & ran the compression test.
cyl 1=320psi, cyl 2=325psi, cyl 3=325psi, cyl 4=350psi.
She still is smoking badly but not as bad as yesterday. I don't know what to do next, anyone have some advice?
