Excessive blow by for bend new D60 reman?

thats nothing compared to a buddies 30 thousand dollar cat rebuild from cat last year. I even pulled his oil fill and dipstick and it was chuggin worse than yours.He went out of his mind. anyhow he called cat and they told him its gonna be that way till the rings set or some bs. He ran it hard for next 2 weeks and i think by the 3rd week, there was zero blow by. Well not zero, but very minimal. Your always gonna have some. So im gonna say yeah thats normal. gonna have to run it hard dude. takes more than one hard pull. Takes a couple weeks for some people depending miles and how hard you run it

 

thats normal

 

rings are not set at 20k your oil pres is low mine runs about 55 on the road

 

yes mines a Detroit dd3 idel oil pres around 25 hot hsa around 90 thous on in frame

 

yeah but what kind of 20K miles? Are you a highway guy or a city guy? We run hard here. Talking about Hammer down heavy hard pulling, all day long. Traffic lights all day making the load maxed out 40 tons totally. Hills you name it. That takes almost a month to set em. Just cruising and babying motor for 20k isnt much. Just sayin

 

Boss finds that the money he spends on breaking engine in on the dyno is well worth it.. he swears his chances of a oil burner are way higher trying to break engine in with our 20 k outbound loads . Engines need to work hard at the beginning of their life it seems.

 

It takes 70k at least of Highway running to seal rings on a 60. They’ve been known to take longer. Once the fuel economy jumps up, almost 1 mpg, you’ll know they’re sealed up. As far as oil pressure. It’s good. Only time it’s over 50lbs.is after an oil change, or cold start.
