Slobber No More!!!!! & Thoughts on fan override

[Gregory OConnor]

Detroit Diesel shipped many 8V92 with slobber to sump routers. the
lack of free flow caused problems. many slobber to sump were changed
to slobber cans. I believe, The slobber tubes on a 4 stroke (S60's)
are "crankcase vents" and not slobber produced by exhaust gas ?????

not to second guess the Canadians but, how do you vent to that which
you are venting???

Exhaust turbo blankets. I had issues with an insulated turbo on a
tractor that twice split the casted exhaust when it would not cool
down after shut down at the same rate as the other casted parts. The
MFG fix was to blanket the entire exhaust but I dont have the luxuary
or patients to do a running cooldow every time I shut the engine off,
so I dumped the turbo blanket.
