This is just a general question, we're driving a VL-100 with a 6V92 and
towing a Jeep. Is there any way to reduce the amount of blow by or is
it just the nature of the beast with the detroit diesel, because when
we're done towing, the back of the bus and the front of the Jeep is
covered with an oily mist? Thanks in advance for your replies...

Oh.... well, we don't have those here. In California, that's probably a bigger deal. L. ... In the intake all you risk is destroying the engine when its really...
I don't mean to be argumenattive, of course you are correct with a "Safety First" attitude. However, one would think those "experts" at DD with their slide...
