How much blow by do you have? Buddy just went through this same thing and his filters on the catch cans were soaked and not letting it breath.
LB7: turbos leaking/burning oil
- Thread starter dirtydmax
- Start date
In his situation internal pressure was keeping the drains from working properly. That is a possibility.
I pulled the drains from the pan and they were dry inside so i gave a siphen and got oil,not a lot like i was expecting more of a slow stream but it appears to be stopped leaking from turbos.i still need to take if for a rip to see for sure but how could there be 80 psi and only have a dribble from the drains?
Pull them from the pan and crank it over with the fuse pulled so it won't start and see how much comes out. It will be much more when running. That will verify that they are getting oil through them as well. It does get frustrating chasing down this kind of problems. The high oil pressure won't push it through the drains. It will push it past the seals because it drain fast enough.
I do believe this is the case.So much oil I cant get rid of it fast enough then the pressure builds and its going everywhere but where it should.Im going to -12 dump lines and pulling the restictors back out.
Pvc is connected as if it were factory but because of the lly alt bracket used its braided hose from the v covers to pan,No blow by though,first thing I checked and breathing easy.
After moving the oil return lines around a little I think I have the oil leak under control for now during idle anyway's.The little bit of oil I got after words was residual I think and should have my controller back from Jon tomorrow so a proper spin should tell me more about if I fixed the prob or not.After a rip I will report my findings and really appreciate the help guy's:hug:
