I just was worried
|
The Crankcase vent hose on the Cummins (on the front gear cover) is in my opinion in a bad spot. It will over time mist the chassis and front oil pan making a great place for dirt to stick. I relocated the outlet of the hose with some plastic pipe I imagine you could use a hose.
The main thing to worry about on diesels is white smoke and grey smoke out the exhaust. Some blow by is normal it is a internal combustion engine. I like driving down the interstate and looking at the oil spots after a bump in the road. It lets me know where the bumps are hahaha. |
Thanks man we could I relocate it and what kind of piping could i use
|
I relocated mine using PVC pipe and moved it to the rear of the engine. Its not hard and the PVC holds up very well.
