Have read, and listened to lots of folks talk about this engine and how so many have alot of blowby, even when the engine is sound. Well, my 1460 has blowby. Enough to bother me when I am combining and the wind is the right direction so I see the puffs of blue smoke in the mirror. Had a full grain tank so let her cool a bit, shut her down and got another wagon to unload, and grab some 15-40 as I assumed it would be low with all the smoke, and even kinda dripping/small stream running from the blow by tube. Well, it wasnt really low, at all.This is a 5200 hour combine that I got very cheap, did do 15 acres of beans with it and it seemed to have plenty of power in the heavy beans, never lost power or RPMs, and always seems to start real good. So whats the deal with this engine and oil blow by? Anything simple to check? At what amount of oil consumption should I worry. Or should I just run it and stop needlessly stressing. oh yeah, hate the smell of it getting sucked into the cab fresh air filter when wind is behind me.
