    No, don’t go off of that advice. If you did you would never buy a truck with a cat. Argue all you want, all cats have blowby especially when warmed up. Unacceptable blow by is when it is chugging like a freight train. A lot of times you will see a steady stream faintly. This is normal.
    Cats, Detroit’s and old Cummins will do it.
    Too many people on here I think hatin. It’s an old c15 that will have blowby and its a good engine that will serve you well. If you get the truck for a good price go for it

    I used to buy and sell a lot of 1960s 1970 metric motorcycles. People always said it ran when it was put in storage. If I cant start it ride it it’s only worth 200 bucks. Period unless your parting it out. Lots of offended kids who thought dads old Honda was worth big bucks.
