    Thanks for your input.
    Because I'm a mechanical perfectionist, new upgraded hi output compressor will be going on with a AD2 air dryer filter & purge kit, also service the Luberfiner 750, but I'll take the cheaper initial route redo the blower seals, I'm sure you are 95% right on this.
    I also found I have a disconnected air control idle valve on the governor, I need to replace with normal idle speed screw assembly.
    Zero coolant in oil, truck had sat for 4 + years, filters were dated 2004, so one can only assume that it had run minimally in that time, the oil drained was uniform in consistency, so figures crossed here no coolant/oil issues.

    the biggest advantage of the old 71 and 92 series is they wont quit on you even down a couple of cylinders and 5 lbs of oil pressure
    straight 40 weight always was best for me and when they got wore out just add a gallon or 2 of lucas
    I called lucas pretend oil pressure but in one of the boats it saved me an overhaul midseason
    engine was still running on 5 cylinders and fished everday until herring season closed

    The US military still uses the 8v92 that has been updated with ddec electronics in the 8x8 oshkosh. I read somewhere they don't plan to end of life these trucks until 2025.
