    Rear main seal leakage - should I use a stop leak? [1994 IDI w/ turbo]

    A few updates: I've figured out it's not a turbo leak. Likely just a busted CDR spewing oil mist out, plus a valve cover gasket leak, in addition to the RMS leak

    7.3 IDI Ticking Tapping Noise from Injector / Valve Cover

    Did you end up fixing this? How did you do it? Mine sounds the exact same.

    Frost plug block heaters - do they come standard? [94 IDI-t]

    Have any of you tried something like this? It's cheaper than a new plug/cord, and seems easier to install too. https://www.amazon.com/Kats-16500-Lower-Radiator-Heater/dp/B00F8KTD14/ref=pd_sim_263_1/137-1750792-9979041

    Frost plug block heaters - do they come standard? [94 IDI-t]

    Just found the heater and tried a new plug. No dice. Looks like I'll probably need to change the heater completely.

    Frost plug block heaters - do they come standard? [94 IDI-t]

    Alright, good to know the heater itself is in there so I won't have to drain the coolant. That said, behind the starter? I don't want to pull it

    Frost plug block heaters - do they come standard? [94 IDI-t]

    I realized the magnetic heater my truck came with is dead, so I was wondering if the frost plug heaters came standard with these trucks, and if so, where is the cord/heater so I can plug my own cord into it. If they're not standard, can I use an inline lower hose heater?

    Rear main seal leakage - should I use a stop leak? [1994 IDI w/ turbo]

    Gotcha. Hmm not quite sure what to do then. I'll just have to see where the oil is dripping from and slather a metric ton of RTV black on that guy

    Rear main seal leakage - should I use a stop leak? [1994 IDI w/ turbo]

    I'm pretty sure it's coming from the turbo, since the valve covers don't seem likely to leak upwards. Here are some pictures from under the turbo. The orange thing is the hot side of the turbo. Sorry about questionable quality pics, it's a tight squeeze. What should I adjust to tighten the oil...

    Can I replace my CDR valve with an oil catch can?

    Gotcha, I'll definitely keep that in mind. New air filter/oil at the required intervals

    Yeah it's a factory turbo then.

    Can I replace my CDR valve with an oil catch can?

    Thanks I'll look into it. Gotcha. Yeah I'll do that. Just really don't want to deal with the glow plugs under the turbo. Yeah I guess I can just leave it as is then, or pipe it in.

    Can I replace my CDR valve with an oil catch can?

    Got a link to a decent knockoff? Haha. The provent 200 is pretty expensive. I'm looking for something less than $80 ideally. Was thinking about this, but I'm worried about excessive oil burning because I read it was bad to burn too much oil since it could cause head gasket failure. Sorry I'm...

    I think the turbo is factory. I'll give it a look over.
