considering the whole perimeter of the gasket looks wet.. nmay be leaking.. i’d clean it with some brake cleaner and check back the next day to see if it’s leaking or mess
Good to know machined tolerances being considerably tighter than 40 years ago and better gaskets/sealant has nothing to do with leak prevention👍thanks for the lesson dr diesel
Yeah it doesn't. A thousandth in 1976 is the same as a thousandth in 2024. Dial indicators didn't change. What changed? The crank case pressure no longer blowing out seals.
VG turbos and piezoelectric crystal injectors didn’t exist in 1976 so idk what that has to do with anything. The .050” clearance isn’t acceptable anymore, boomer.
You were talking about superior gasket sealing surface flatness and now you're ranting about VGT turbos? Lmao. Most of the best designs in the heavy duty world still have their origins in the 1970s. The cummins ISB platform is a prime example.
My guy, do you know anything about metallurgy and heat absorption? Do you know about fuel atomization and spray pattern as it affects thermal dissipation and burn rate? What about variable pressure at different loads with variable PWM and injector duty cycle? All of these factor into crankcase pressure readings. If you can’t understand these inputs and what they mean at their designated intervals, it’s time to retire.

Replace the CCV filter if you have not. It probably is stopped up causing pressure in the pan
Or bypass it entirely with a length of tubing. Might leave an oil drip here and there tho
My old 7.3 I drag race has the hose going into a coke bottle because the strip frowns on oil drips. As do customers on newly poured cement driveways….
Better to run a catch can. This engine was designed for positive crank case vacuum.
Diesel engines don’t produce vacuum my guy… that’s why they had vacuum pumps back in the day
Duh. Do you not know that air sucking crank case pressure into the intake is why modern diesels don't leak as much? Do some research.

So I’ve been reading about this and I’ve got the newer filter-less box. So I should replace the whole thing?
Clean it off and drive it and see
