My old engine was a 12.7 well over 500 RWHP and never had issues like this, specifically viscosity issues. Thus engine started life as an emissions engine, but I back dated the build to a non emissions engine.

I spoke to my providers engineer. We're going to drain this new oil and send it for a sample along with a sample of the virgin oil for a baseline comparison. The concern is the starting viscosity levels, if it's close to the baseline for 15w40 then he said it would show a significant breakdown...

Yes to all of that except the plastigage. The machine shop checked the crank and bore, without bearings of course. The rods had new bushings installed in wrist pin end, machined to fit, the rods were bump sanded and all checked for exact center to center. Pistons, bearings, head, injectors all...

Oh and I checked the system from the turbo to the intake. So I disconnected the boot off the turbo and disconnected the boot off the intake manifold, plugged and tested. Yes!

The CAC tubes were powder coated, they blasted the outsides. Idk if they blasted the insides. The don't feel as though they were blasted. But they were cleaned before installation of course. Could that be an issue? I have not had the filters out since I installed a few weeks ago. They fit ok...

No, I'd rather not. In fact, plain and simple. I won't.

The 6 gallons was a result of an error on my part that lead to catastrophic failure. Not really relevant to the oil samples to be honest. It ended in a full engine rebuild again. I'm all over this intake system and can't find anything. I'm wondering if there is an issue with the intake...

Recent sample of Phillips 66. You can view more in the UOA forum.

Sorry samples didn't post.

So I'm running a 2004 series 60 engine, non egr, non emissions engine. Running Phillips 66 15w40 fleet supreme during the break in period. I built it last January, got it installed and ran it 13k miles and grenaded it due to a typographical error on my part. Anyways, rebuilt it, fixed what I...

Dont get best selling and best brands mixed up.

I posted and email on here a while back if you search my posts, from phillips 66, in an independent lab test, Chevron was the only oil that outperformed Phillips and it was in only 2 tests. I hear not so good about rotella anymore, and I couldn't find any information on delvacs additive package...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Phillips is one of the top 3.

Ahhhh the plot thickens. So these are NOT prepacked, my distributor buys in bulk and fills buckets. I dropped the pan today, cleaned the sump by hand and reinstalled. New buckets were clean installs..the dealer admitted it musta been a foul up on their part. They're reimbursing my costs so I'm...

Good to know. I'm headed to get 2 new buckets. This is the first for this happening to me.

No, this was not out of the engine, this was in a brand new bucket. Read the post about 6 posts up.

For not prefilling filters? I always prefill, I'd be afraid to not prefill a system that big.

Ok, to answer everyone. Yes it is a suction tube for a hand pump. The pump never sits out. When not in use it's sitting in a half bucket of oil I use to top off, but never sets out. No, the bucket it not refilled, my supplier buys them prefilled from phillips and sells them in 5, 55, and bulk...

Ya fleet EC, pretty sure I need to go check that thread cause I was sitting on a bucket of synthetic when I posted it and I think I posted incorrectly

Actually that's a great question. I can't answer that. I didn't ask when I started running it. I'm only using it during my new engine break in period then I'll switch to Phillips 66 synthetic blend after break in. That's stuff is so slippery I don't think my new engine would have ever broke in...
