Hey guys,
Been a while. Have a question to see what you all think. I have had what I think is excessive blowby with a little bit of oil also. It seems from what I have found that the N14 engine does not have a pcv valve or any kind of filter or element in the crankcase ventilation system that I can find. I am wondering what you guys think.
So as for the engine. The engine was rebuilt about a year and a half ago by a shop that does them regularly with all OEM parts. Heads were sent out locally and remaned. It has 125,000 on it now. I also just recently put a new air compressor on it. Last time i looked I did not visibly see any issues with the turbo. Last time I did an oil change at 10,000 it showed less than a half gallon low, probably less. The blowby or breather tube comes down right over my front axle and I do see some oil residue on it. What do you guys think. I am sure some of you will say dont worry about it right now but still would like some insight as to what you think. I know it could be possible turbo, valve seals, but hoping it is not a cracked ring or piston. No issues with the power. It is set at a soft tune 525hp. Its in a fld120 setup as a mobile home toter truck.
