I think the engine is in good condition as it starts pretty fast, but there is some blowby which had me worried. I made 2 videos, the first one shows a first startup in almost 2 weeks, and cold blowby. Second one shows blowby with the engine at operating temperature. Let me know what you think

The engine only has 54000 km, so I didn't expect the cap to dance like this
Well I've seen worse.

If the recorded kms are correct the engine is suffering from lack of use. Change the oil more frequently and you might find that things improve. You should be changing the engine oil at least twice a year because the engine has to work so hard in that big truck
