Thank you for the pic and the hose size. I was concerned that the hose on my parts motor setup was way too small.

It was a complete kit when 6.9's first came out. The only one I've ever seen with a gravity oil reservoir to the turbo for cooling the bearings after shutdown.

That's a good idea. I wish they still made something like that for newer turbos.

pretty easy to build from a piece of pipe. you can see it on the firewall here. one #6 braided in on the end, and another out to the turbo.

I was thinking more along the lines of the electric "preluber" oil pumps. This would be a postluber instead of a preluber. Let it run for a minutes or so after engine shut down.

Correct. I remember considering one of those. But I have such good results with Lucas stabilizer over the years, I could not justify the cost. This system just prevents coking at the bearing as it caries heat away after shut down, just gravity fed. Same theory, no pump or power.

I want to try this myself. I think i'm going to see what I can do differently on the Ex Wife since I'm going to pull the engine out anyway. I still want to try to come up with a way to have the oil drain back into the second dipstick hole location. I believe that I do happen to have an extra fitting that the dipstick tube goes into. My thing is that I don't want to have to remember to manually drain the oil.
I've been toying with the idea of running a centrifuge for bypass filtration and draining it to that spot.

Not a bad idea, but it sounds too complicated for me.
If running an electric fuel pump you might modify the fuel pump block off plate to return oil to the crankcase.

Yep to start out I'm going to manually see how often it needs to be drained. Its in a gravity position that can have it tapped to the dipstick or fuel block off plate.

I was in a Mercedes training class where they described how they solved the direct injection dirty valve issues with their centrifuge design and it really works well. They aren't wrong.. VW/Audi are still plagued with it on their TSI engines, BMW, Porsche same deal as ***. Ford tried to fix it with secondarys when they flipped to the new DI 5.0 but still has issues. Have heard/seen very little Mercedes issues.
Anyway.. Our tractor motors dont need a centrifuge IMO.. Complexity to value isn't there.

It's simply a matter of the soot load in my opinion. It seemed like a simple solution to add secondary filtration to the oil. It's cheaper than total seal rings and would accomplish a similar end goal.
