    Sounds like you may have a cylinder letting a little oil by.

    Mine was doing that bad, It was caused by worn rings valve seals and guides. When the injector went out, it got a lot worse, since it wasn’t burning the oil off. Here’s what we found. Cyl w/ bad injector, and worn valve guide seal.Check out the head bolt. Got almost 1.5 mil on an OH.Original Bull gear was still in tight @2.3 mil.

    Where the heck are you buying your parts? Last time I bought an oem inframe kit at Detroit for a 12.7 it was about 2200.
