Bad CDR?

[fx4wannabe]

My CDR has a bunch of oil in it. I just cleaned it all out about 200 miles ago. The hose that goes from the CDR to the intake also has a lot of oil in it. Is this normal? Seems a little excessive to me.

Any thoughts?

Doesn't sound like a CDR problem - sounds more like a blowby problem. The same problem a LOT of us with older trucks have....

Are you sure its working correctly? Should close off at higher rpms to keep from pulling to much oil mist into intake. Is your oil consumption high?

Perfectly normal. Not a single truck with a good CDR has a clean intake. No CDR and an RDT is how you accomplish that.

Ok. Where does all that oil come from? Is it just from the pressure pushing it out of the head?

 

[f-two-fiddy]

It's oil vapor. From the crankcase. It's sucked up the CDR, and into the intake.

That is a lot of vapor. O'well as if its normal I'll quit worrying.
