6V92 Detroit

[Kurt Horvath]

Scooter,

If it becomes bothersome you can install a trap or a CCV ( Closed
Crankcase Ventilation System )
Racor makes one as well as Walker . They are used quite a bit on
boats.
I didn't like the oily film on the coach or trailer. I installed a
Racor and am very happy with it's performance.

go. I noticed the motor discharged about a 5" circle of oil after I
parked it after an 1800 mile run (1800 miles in 36 hours). I checked
the oil level and only added about 1 quart (or so) after 1800 miles.
I'm guessing that's not too bad for oil consumption. I think this
motor had an in-frame rebuild about 56k miles ago. So, wanted to make
sure it wasn't doing something out of the ordinary. I can't imagine
the engine going bad already unless it was abused by the
PO.Thanks.Jerry 85 PT40Port Hueneme, CA--- In
