Ah yes well then that would make sense and could be a logical problem with his problem.

Good call.

Thanks IndyDurango

Great link I will be ordering up the parts tommorow.

Unreal how everytime I put a question up I get the correct answer and my rig keeps on going.

All that research I do on new trucks because I always think this is it and you guys help fix my rig for cheap.

Sweet!!!

I am in the same boat as ModT I can,t see any external leaks, I have changed belly pan and gasket and also changed intake gasket to Hughs engines fix but I still loosing oil. I would say I am down 3 liters in about 3000 KM, I also changed PCV valve when I did the intake, any suggestions would help.

Hey all, I installed the kit from Hughes and it fixed my problem 100%. This past weekend took a trip around 700 miles and not a drop of oil burned!!!

As for the kit from Hughes it is very complete and good quality. I was not very happy with the plate as it was not flat at all. They cut the plate out of bar stock aluminium. Extruded Bar stock raw is always warped and for a couple cents more per pound they could used CAST PLATE aluminiun. I guess with all the bolts it would have pulled it down flat but I milled mine flat.

I also would buy new O rings for the injectors as mine leaked after install and had to change them. All in all pretty easy to do took about 7hrs.

I totally agree that Hugh's stuff is right on and some of the best stuff I have used, I have bought stuff from them for 10 years now, but all I am saying is that I am still loosing oil and I was wondering if there is something else I could check.
