I ran a Donaldson
BHAF for years on it. Not some kind of rice burner spectra or k&n air filter. A
BHAF should filter air just as well as stock air cleaner with the panel style paper air filter. I might will start try the oil analysis thing if I either swap the long block or rebuild it.
My last resort attempt at saving the engine will be some kind of decarbon product to fill in cylinders to try free up rings. It burned hundreds of gallons of WMO (it paid off
)
Good idea, I’ll plug the tapper cover breather to reduce the oil loss.
I’m more leaning toward to find either good short or long block to fix up on the side, to minimize the truck down time.
