6V92 Detroit

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.
