Hi guys I’ve rebuilt the engine in one of my D7H serial no 5WB 4127 3306 10Z 219119
New crank,pistons,liners,valves guides bearings the whole deal it’s back at work and running great
The engine oil level is a worry
When I check the oil level at the end of the day,with engine at idle it is down 4 or 5 litres,when I check in the morning before starting,it is back at the full mark
When I start the engine from cold,and let it idle for a few minutes,and check again,there is only half an inch of oil on the stick,this is a real worry, I did the same procedure on one of the other 7s and it only drops 1/2 inch from the full mark
I’ve checked the top of the engine for excess oil that was ok I’ve dropped the oil pan and poured oil into the filler pipe to make sure it’s not flooding the front gear housing,the crankcase breather is clear,the turbo drain is clear Any ideas guys,any help sorting this out will be really appreciated Regards Wayne
