Indeed good news. Thanksgood news as I've been looking at my blowby tube and frowning lately as well, 332000km on mine

I think the same; in particular on 3B-I.I have heard turbos are really hard on 3Bs.
same thing as in your videoIndeed good news. Thanks
What do you see, compared to mine?
heat is hard on 3b's..... hence heads and precups cracking ,even non turboed, put an egt on your N/A engine and seeI have heard turbos are really hard on 3Bs.

(dont be a hater you know you want one )
I didn't do a classic compression test, but a pressure loss test: You don't use the engine crank to create pressure, but pressure (as per spec) is applied from outside and a computer measures how long it stays resp. how much flow needs to be added to compensate any loss. (Of course, also a healthy engine has some loss, so there are thresholds applicable). There is a fancy curve on the display, but actually the result calculated by the computer matters.same thing as in your video
how were your compression numbers, 400+?
So, you rather need an infinite calender on your engine, not a gauge .Yea I want one.
My 3B has 110,000km. I don’t want to blow it up, I want to see how many years it will last me.
Just change the seals if it drips. It’s 40 year old, it’ll need some care. Not a single drop from mine 3B, bone dry with 5W40 full synthetic.Do not use synthetic. It will leak like a sieve.

So messy. Drips everywhere. Even more than the normal 3B drips.
Why so? Should work fine long time with right tune.I have heard turbos are really hard on 3Bs.
ya mine is dry too with syntheticJust change the seals if it drips. It’s 40 year old, it’ll need some care. Not a single drop from mine 3B, bone dry with 5W40 full synthetic.
yes....people think the boost is going to crack the head or crank without the reasoning behind why these things happen, but sometimes 'things' do happen... and the turbo is always the usual suspect, not the guy who put it on (for some reason)....Why so? Should work fine long time with right tune.
