found a local 7.3 w/ turbo
tons of blowby, looks like the engine is on fire
low power too.... alot slower than my truck, and similar setups (turbo'd w/c6).
to find if it's the valves/rings/turbo related, I assume:
1. compression test
2. leak down test
3. pull the turbo off and see if the problem persists
any other suggestions?
seems like a nice old truck, and the price is right (I'm looking for a extra work vehicle, but don't want a moneypit).
thanks
