6V92 Detroit
the drip from the slobbertubes is a function of scaveging and
necessary with the two stroke jimmies. There was a time when some would direct the discharge back to the sump. All the aftermarket engineering has down sides. The s60 is four stroke and has a way different setup. If slobber bothers, you dont sleep sitting up and get a four stroke. Here is an article on the diffs between 2 and four strokes some times refered to as two cycle and four cycle. "blower" and "turbo" are also two terms confused which differ. http://www.yachtsurvey.com/comparing_diesel_types.htm Greg ofTim&Greg 94ptca --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Kurt Horvath" wrote: > > > Scooter, > > If it becomes bothersome you can install a trap or a CCV ( Closed > Crankcase Ventilation System ) > Racor makes one as well as Walker .
