CDR creates a small amount of vacuum in the crankcase so that oil doesn't get pushed past seals. i once didn't hook my CDR up properly and on a 1 hr trip I lost about a gallon of oil. Scary.
 
Not sure what im gonna do about the CDR yet, ive done some searchin around on the net and have found some people have just ran a draft tube down and everything has worked fine. Others havent had such good luck, going to have to do some more lookin around a pondering in my head.
 
if your seals are in good shape it should be fine. the vacuum the cdr puts in the crankcase will keep a normally leaking seal from leaking.

I didnt really find any information saying that it was useful. Basically that is for emissions control. so currently im leaning towards a road tube, if a seal cant hold back the oil without a vacuum then it needs replaced anyways.

I guess I should have put this::rolleyes5: behind usefulness:)

Oil leaks where? our older tractors have blow-by tubes that just run down below the frame. What does the CDR do anyways?

Assuming by your user name you are referring to Cummins. These are a different engine and design to run neg pressure. A tight newer motor may not leak but an older one surely will. No big deal to hook it up. Sucks to do a rear main seal.....

I havent reffered anything to a cummins, yes i do drive one and know alot about em but im on this forum cause i wanna learn more about my 6.2. Im not comparing them by anymeans. Did you not read the test that guy did? The CDR wasnt creating much of a vacuum anyways unless under a heavy load.
 
:All my felpro gaskets finally came in the mail. Got the injector lines and valve covers pulled the other night. Now waiting for another evening to remove the injectors and unblot the heads to put in the new headgaskets and ARP studs.

All the injectors i sent off to get pop tested were bad :mad2: but my dad just remembered we had injectors out of my grandpas 6.5 that we thought were bad, but his problem turned out to be a pump. so im in luck there :thumbsup:
 
So far my buddy and i have pulled the injector lines off, valve covers, and have started takin the head bolts out of the drivers side. Need to finish unbolting the exhaust and remove the exhaust headers before i completely undo the heads. Pulled the bottom head bolts out and i guess i didnt drain enought coolant out cause it started runnin out the holes. Thats it for now since spring break is over till the weekend.
 
I found the easist way to drain the out was a piece of steel tubing(fuel line) on a hand pump. you can shove it down to hole and get alot of it out.
 
nope. I tried that way too and still had coolant in there. the only other spot i can see to get at it from is the covers at the back of the head. you have to remember everything is tilted toward the rear.
