Cummins QSB 6.7 426 parts manual

If they are that good , why do they need a parts manual , and a drawing showing low oil, when they never use any.
Oil was coming out the top…it was either a bad thing (oil from the sump passing the piston rings…for example)…or…it’s from over filling during the recent service…which is why I am monitoring the situation

I seem to remember this monitoring lark for the fuel tank :)

So much quicker to forget the monitoring and just take the engine out....

From sbmar.com …. “In the case of the Cummins “B”, this engine is very susceptible to an overfill of the crank case w/ oil and on an “inline drive” the problem gets amplified as the rise of the bow during operation exaggerates the build up of oil in the rear of the oil pan, causing “whipping” of the oil. This has a tendency to push the oil out the rear breather in some cases. The same engine turned around in a V-Drive install may not show this problem.” Crankcase Ventilation

Just trying to help.. us Trawler types have got to stick together…

I’m starting to realise that…thought throwing in the Forest Gump reference would lighten the post somewhat…
You doing well but you have to realise Bouba is our entertainment over the winter, and in the summer drinks beer I pay for.
