wolfe10 Report post Posted December 28, 2017 Have they given you the "cause" of the excessive blow-by? Was the engine "dusted"? Another option (in Houston): https://houston.craigslist.org/rvs/d/caterpillar-diesel-engine-and/6413992337.html No first hand knowledge on it, but had a link to it forwarded to me.

rcieslak67 Report post Posted January 18, 2018 That is alot of blowby, that much would indicate very worn piston rings or possibly a hole in a piston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
