Re: The Colorado BS thread
Yeah, I definitely get some blow by. I originally did the CCV vent mod to atmoshpere, with a collector that could be drained in the back. Thing was, it would still drip out the end, out the filter, so I put it back.
I know some of that oil it sitting in the bottom of my intercooler (wish they made put in a drain for those!)
Bypass filter...hmmm...in all my mods didn't see something like that. Not too hard, but nothing ground breakingly different.
Glowplugs are Motorcraft ZD-11's (the good ones), and I've got the upgraded Stancor Relay.
Is your blow by bad? Could be sucking up crank case oil. Those 7.3s always seem to drink some oil in cold weather.
I still believe one of the best things you can do for a 7.3/6.0 isadd a good bypass oil filter like amsoil. It does a lot for helping the high pressure pump and injectors. And they can be changed every other oil change. I personally wouldn't go more than. 3-4000 on intervals either.
And always use the motorcraft glow plugs. Aftermarket ones never get as hot.
