Re: 8v71 by BUBBA THE BUS TECH
Post New Message Out the drain tubes from the side off the block or the vent tubes from the valve covers? Both will pass a small amount of oil under load. I have plumbed the drip tubes into a 2.5 gallon jerry can with ventilation to keep the oil off the paint. The vents on the valve covers are a problem if they pass enough oil to drip on the ground or soak the back of the unit. You can pull them off and clean the wool mesh up to see if that helps, but usualy that means the engine is tired. I have seen them run an easy 100,000 miles like that though. Good luck
