Greetings all. Glad to be back.

EDIT: It's a 1969 M35A2 with turbo. Engine rebuilt in 1989 using all STD bearings and clearances.

I have a vacation in June and I want to drive my duece there (4+hours one way) I have noticed alot of oil coming out of my crank case vent pipe. It's soaking my frame and front axle housing. Could it be blow by from the rings? Thats the only thing I can think that would do that. A quick once over on the engine and I didn't see a PCV valve LOL...

The other thing was a knock I hear every now and then under load. It is not loud but deep like a rod in a small V-8. You have to strain a bit to hear it. It is not pronounced. Am I worried about nothing? Could an injector cause a knock? Can they be checked easily? I know it is not a rod bearing as it has done it for over a year and a very experienced mechanic friend and I both agree with such high compression ratios a bad rod bearing would have failed long ago. Sure would like to hear your opinions. Al.
