TD8E Engine Woes

pq4555 · Oct 31, 2015

Bought a new to me 1974 TD8E. It was working fine and then fuel injector inspection plate started leaking oil. Fixed that. Then turbo started spewing oil out exhaust. Turbo rebuilt. Now oil spewing out of dipstick tube. At a loss. Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Could it be as simple as too much oil? We had that problem with a lawnmower once.

Oil level is normal

D239 More than likely broken ring.. If you have to go in it find someone that has experience with that engine. Has a bottom balancer that is always suspect.

Well ya fixed the hair dryer and now your getting proper boost so either she is plum slap wore out and you have that much blow by that it is blowing the oil out or your breather tube is plugged.
