Sorry to say, but the 350 diesel engine does not use piston liners, like the 300. You have to bore out the block & get a whole set of oversized pistons.

Thanks for the tip. Yes, the sudden onset could be a tip that this could be the true source of the blow-by. I couldn't really correlate the blow-by to the overfilled crankcase, because it seemed...
