Who ever worked on this engine for the prior owner appears to have done a great job. What was done prior is unknown. When I got it in Dec 2010 it was a greasy mess all around the valve cover and all over the engine. Now after 2 years of periodic cleaning/power washing engine is pretty clean. Fixed gasket on oil filler cap. Valve cover seeps a little. Can see edge of head gasket and it looks new. Does not burn any noticeable amount of oil. Used oil dark but not jet black sludge when I drained it. Oil appeared to have good viscosity and flow like oil. Let it drain about a hour and the very last of it was a little sludgy.
Had it running awhile after oil change and when I ran it with out oil cap on to check for blow by I did not see any at all. Have to check that again after I run it all day.
Now if I could just get the small diesel leaks on Cav pump connections to stop. Then I could start on the messier hydro leaks.
