Thanks and you were right. Do not attempt to test the crankcase controls on these diesels. Didn't come out new looking, just got rid of the surface oil. I started off washing the outside with Dawn dish soap and a dish scrubbing pad. I do not have vacuum at the manifold, however.
After a period of time, cylinder and head temperatures will reach unacceptably high levels causing the head bolts to stretch and the head gasket to fail. It could be that there is more blowby than the turbo can remove or the mess filter in the valve cover is plugged up with gook. I am beginning to think this fluid may be engine oil, I only get a few drops here and there so it is hard to figure out what exactly it is but it is oily and it is not red. I then sprayed water in the inlet, not too fast to avoid damaging the diaphram. For a little bit, I let warm water and Dawn flow through the valve, until it ran clear. With the engine fully warmed up and idling, the water level in the clear tubing should be level with the water in the container.
And how do I know if I need to replace it? I dripped some Dawn inside, added warm water, gently shook it, and poured out a lot more sludge. Do comp test My case I pulled the engine out as it was time due to blowby and oil leaks. After that, I scrubbed the hose fittings very good with Dawn. Mount it to a board so you have a 'U' about 1. I change them all the time.
In more advanced stages of cylinder wear, the blow-by vapor may puff out of the dipstick tube and past the dipstick handle. I'm under the impression that I will have to crank it over quite a bit to get fuel flow to the injector pump again after replacing the lift pump, will that harm the glow plugs just replaced. It's purpose is to recycle the exhaust gases that manage to get past the piston rings and into the crankcase. I removed the entire cdr assembly and left only the hose that came off the fill tube. Hey yall im going out on a limb here and trying something. If the engine fails this test and if there is blow-by vapor puffing out of the oil filler tube, this would suggest worn or damaged cylinders, pistons and or rings. After removing the oil dipstick, slip this tube over the dipstick tube.
I washed it off with warm water. If you see engine oil mist in the intake manifold, test it out per the instruction above or get a new one. But what does it do? The can is big to work with the pressures involved. The slight pressure difference from the air filter is enough to collapse the spring. The site is fully functional and ad free! So I went and looked at an older Chevy Tahoe with the 6. We add new items all of the time.
Let us know it works out for you after you replace your engine gaskets and seals. Instead, clean the valve cover filter assembly and vent pipes and check the vent pipes. Research says this could be a bad diaphragm in the lift pump? Obtain a water manometer J23951 3. The ventilation pipes and tubes should also be cleaned and replaced as wear and tear dictates. Bring the engine to operating temperature.
Should I disconnect the glow plugs during all that cranking or will that harm the Smart start box. I capped off the intake and rolled over to autozone and picked up an edelbrock valve cover breather. Rev the engine to around 2000 rpm. I disconnected a T between above the transmission and diesel came out. The only real way to tell would be to run a compression test and a leak down test.
One of the ways, water will flow after a little pressure. Control is accomplished by regulating the blow-by gases into the intake system to be reburned. Pressure must be regulated to prevent oil consumption through the intake system, and to prevent oil leaks due to excessive buildup of pressure. The valve is located by the right cylinder head cover. They are good engines but are prone to lose one cylinder I believe it's 7 or 8 to blow by before all the others as the miles rise. The 95 version is the better one,cheaper too. I may change it out as preventative maintenance.
The truck had about 170k on the clock, but I've read of the 6. Specifications Crankcase pressure at idle. I removed the rubber grommet and pushed the breather right down into the tube coming off the filler. Then i installed a hose clamp. The rod was stuck down, so I did end up removing the plate.
