CCV Blowby?

[Justinlw]

I did the CCV mod last night while I was swapping injectors. I noticed this morning that once the engine is warmed up, there is quite a bit of pressure coming from the CCV hose under the truck. Not alot of smoke, just pressure. Anyone else noticed this? This thing scares me every time I do something to it.

Uh I dunno about the sick-o's...but I know at night in town if I'm at a redlight u can see mine it looks like the trucks on fire sometimes lol...

Take your oil fill cap off and put your hand over it... As far as I know, if it isn't tryin' to push on your hand you're okay...

If you have excessive pressure, it can be indicative of a problem:

Common causes for excessive crankcase pressure in 6.0L: crank case vent not working properly, rings, valve seats, turbo seals. These are the most common issues.

This is from a post from a diesel tech on another forum.

So it's possible that exhaust gasses will get around the turbo shaft? Never heard that, but my turbo has a ton of end-play so it is a possibility.

My old man's 95 has about 300k on it. If you take the oil cap off it chugs like a steam train. Still runs strong though.
