...primarily due to too much blow-by pressure in the crankcase...which I have temporarily solved through sheer genius on my part![]()
What did you do to solve it? I've got a wicked leak that Im hoping new valve cover gaskets will fix, but I doubt it...
I rerouted the blow-by into a jet engine that gives me 10000 HP...lol
Actually, I made an article and posted it but I recently modified it (again). I don't think it would apply to a 2.9 because they have their own oil issues (that, apparently, has a fix by changing something in the heads) but even that I think is an oiling issue instead of an oil loss.
The 2.9 has problems cracking heads causing coolant to enter the oil and they have a vendetta against properly oiling the lifters causing them to be fond of ticking.
For an otherwise good running engine I would be checking for leaks before I started planning a rebuild.
