New truck with Series 50 engine has ton of blow by. Fixes?

How many miles on engine/truck.
Have you not spent a ton on it, and plan to keep it?
Rebuild kits aren’t that expensive, it’s the labor that’ll get you, so are there good shops in your area that’ll rebuild it, not for 150-175/hour?
I used a shop that was 95/hour on a Cummins rebuild.

A rebuild kit will vary, usually 2500-5000 depending on engine and what all is needed, personally I change water pump and oil pump too, just incase.
Depends on if you need new head, around 3k.

 

Detroits are generally cheaper to rebuild than anything else. Plus being a 4 banger you'd have 2 less cylinders to worry about.

 

Shouldn’t need an rebuild with that mileage..
I had an inframe done on a Isx Cummins, was 23k.
Labor and all parts.
But it had 1 million 76k miles.

Could just be excessive wear around piston rings.
Maybe try something like this first.
Blowby in trucks... Does it mean a rebuild?

 

Go by oil consumption not blow by on a series 50/60 . I’ve had low mileage engines that developed blow by around 8,000 miles into oil change but only needed to add oil at the 12 k that we changed oil at . They went well over a million miles before oil consumption got to 1 gallon at 2500 miles.

 

Make sure it is not the turbo.
Truck engine are often in frame over hauled. About 50 hours.
