I am not an engine person so would appreciate the sarcasm and criticism to be kept at bay and someone serously help me here. I have a 1987 F-350 dually I love and do not want to get rid of. The 6.9 IDI motor is blowing oil out of every orifice including blowing the dip stick out. I've been given all the opinions of what it could be, definitely not the CDR but most state it's in the cylinder but that's not the problem bothering me. My problem is I can't find a shop that will touch the engine; even the best diesel shop an hour away says parts for this engine are hard to find and the engine itself is a nightmare to work on. I've even asked about rebuilds, "hell" I've even suggested buying a $20,000 crate engine but shops inform me the modifications are much to aggravating and don't want to be bothered. Is it time to throw in the towel?
