1.The correct test for engine wear is always based on oil consumption.
2. Where in the factory service manual does it refer to using a garbage bag?
3. Diesel all have some blow by. Especially at higher mileage. I have seen plenty of engines that have blow by, but all use minimal amounts of oil [1qt/1000 miles or so]
4. What's the next test? Sticking a potato in the exhasut and seeing how long it takes the engine to blow up?
