Oil burning Turbo 700

posted by  someone claiming to be rcsammy on  Thu Dec 25 17:03 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Big hill, Big load. Lots of air being sucked into turbo. If there is any restriction,ie: dirty/blocked air filter, trash blocking inlet to air box, collapsed/collapsing air hose, mouse nest in air box? ......, oil can/will get sucked past the compressor seal even if it is new. Or create a greater vacuum on the crankcase vent system. Didn't sound like that this happened too many miles post rebuild. 2K, maybe?? You didn't say. Takes awhile for things to seat/seal after overhaul. You idea sounds like a pretty good one. Can't say whether a check valve would be of benefit or not. Hope you figure this out.
