Re: Bad Advice On Grade of Oil? 700 88

posted by  someone claiming to be JohnB on  Wed Nov 22 01:38 CST 2000 [RELATED]

oil grade prob irrelevant to smoker. Sounds like turbo seals. I'd be surprised if going back to thinner oil helped the seal problem.

OTOH, it wouldn't hurt to run a drill bit through the pcv elbow...follow the vacuum line back from the manifold to the pcv elbow at the intersection of the 1/2" hose from the intake hose (biggish hose with foam insulator hose on it) across the cam cover.
