Let's put a school bus engine in my truck
#17
Ok, so for anyone still interested in this, status update. Engine went back into the truck earlier this week and started right up. And immediately puked three quarts of oil out of the flywheel inspection plate in maybe ten seconds of running. Looks like it's coming from the oil pan seal, but there's an oil galley that drains there for anything that leaks up top or between the flywheel and rear cover. I noticed a slow drip leak when filling with oil, which in my mind eliminates anything up top like the turbo pedestal or high pressure oil pump.

So now I need to figure out what could leak a few drips when adding oil and then three quarts in literally ten seconds. Originally thought rear main or oil pan seal, but there's no way in hell that either of those could possibly leak that much. Has to be a hole somewhere, or a gap that is made dramatically worse by pressure.

I really despise this truck.
