I think if you have a cracked piston the blow by will pulse with the fire

Can you push them back in or is it replacement only.

pretty sure its replacement. i really dont think its THAT big a deal.

I think i have the same deal as you on start up. Mines been like that for a while. Quick puff and its done. Im installing a twin k16 kit on the 15th and will just go a little further and pop the valve covers. I always put it to extra fuel on start up but it does it in the summer as well

any updates 6.4psd916. I hope its just a simple fix.

6.4psd916 · Mar 16, 2013

Nope, been working too much to deal with it. Not losing any coolant, but still dripping some oil from the compressor side of the HP turbo and the smoke on startup is intermittent so I'm sure its valve related and just dependent on if the valves with issues are open or closed when I shut it down. Thanks for asking, just trying to figure out how I'm going to get it studded.

powerstroked08 · Mar 16, 2013

Ok well thats good news so far! I hope it all works out man. And good luck with the studs when you get time to do them, the truck seems like a monster.

6.4psd916 · Mar 19, 2013

Starting to gather parts for studs... my coolant has oil in it and my oil level has gone up.... probably going with arps, rcd gaskets, and rcd intake manifold. Not sure what I'm going to do about the heads yet, because I have no idea what condition they are in.

So its been running fine besides the oil on startup. It has not puked anymore, but this has me worried. Could the gaskets have blown into a oil drain area, or do I have piston ring issues?

That blowby looks pretty normal to me.

How could anyone live with a ccv delete with that. Looks like my truck is on fire. Just has smoke rolling out from under it.

Dzchey21 · Mar 30, 2013

Are you sure you don't have water in your oil? Pull the filler cap and look down in the filler/ccv can... Is there milky looking stuff down in there?

Thats how I found my problem. It would not blow the cap off the oil fill but with the excess vapor out the ccv I found I had a fractured block.

I may, I did gain a small amount of oil recently....

Dzchey21 · Mar 30, 2013

its probably coolant, I had an issue and i didnt gain any oil at all but i did have sludge and water coming from my ccv when parked, found it was coolant running up a head stud. Start with the filler cap ect and make sure you dont have a bigger issue like that, front cover or oil cooler. An oil cooler will transfer oil into the coolant while running and then transfer coolant into the oil when the engine is turned off and there is still cooling system pressure

6.4psd916 · Mar 30, 2013

It only started after I puked at the track. I have not noticed anything else weird, my oil temp deltas are still only 3 to 4 degrees, and the coolant has not picked up any oil. I have not had any codes. Only new issue I have is the oil leak, but I think it is ccv related, as in oil leaks out of the HP turbo compressor housing. That's were it seems to collect.

Dzchey21 · Mar 30, 2013

a hole in the cooler wont matter on cooler temps...

But if all this started after it puked then in might be head gasket related, just need to make sure before you tear it down so the problem is actually fixed.

There arent many places where pressurized oil and coolant exist near each other, the oil cooler and maybe front cover are about the only two i can think of off hand. Just trying to make sure you actually solve the issue and not bandaid it or waste time doing gaskets if if the block is messed up or something

6.4psd916 · Mar 30, 2013

That is exactly why I am asking. Thank you. Don't want to fix the gaskets and still have issues.

StockCar#10 · Mar 30, 2013

Do you for sure have coolant in your oil?(

Check your oil fill cap, if you cant see much take an oil sample, blackstone or your local cat dealer can do them, it will show trace of coolant if there is any
