Have you done already any cleaning of the rotor and dirt build up?
Do you have recognized any oil pressure drop due to the rotor?
Whats your oil pressure readings now?

Thanks for your feedback!

where are you draining yours? I have mine going into the the forward turbo oil return, the fitting is about 5/8 but my return is pretty much straight down so that helps.

I have not cleaned the rotor I am waiting to get to the oil change interval.

I see no pressure drop on the gauge, but I have read that with EFI live you can see 1-2 psi at cruising speed.

The dealer changed the oil after they were done with the injectors (go LB7's). The oil was black when I got the truck up to my house. I put the centrifuge on it and the oil is much lighter in color now. It at least looks like it is doing something.

I welded a 3/4 weld el the oil fill tube right above the bend in the tube. To that I welded a 3/4 pipe coupling. On the centrifuge side I made a mounting plate to bolt in the open second alternator spot. On the bottom I welded another 3/4 weld el then one half of a 3/4 union. On the other half of the union I welded another weld el the comes out in front of the belt the a 3/4 coupling I then ran i piece of 3/4 copper pipe between the two couplings. I soldered pipe to npt ends on the copper pipe threaded it all together and connected the union.

If it is getting enough drainage and can maintain the air volume around the rotor with what you have. I would call it good.
