Excessive Blow-by on Kama 554

[redneckford]

Heck this thread was better reading than watching Hee-Haw and SNL. LOTS of love in this thread boys will be boys ---hope mom puts you guys in the corner---sorry Rob--- Greg and Dave must be "Brothers" it sound like me and my little brother---he is still in the Navy---Hope he mello's before he retires are the rocking chairs on the porch will not be the same after we beat each other up with them. They can't hurt no worse than all those words. If you know say so if you don't know real experts will see through you. Whose daddy was the glass builder??????

What has happened to the blow by, rebuild or what?

Hi Milkman, glad you asked.
You read the previous posts I presume, where the blow by I complained of is not nearly as problematic as I was thinking. With that in mind, I ended up changing the oil and filter is all. Tractor still runs strong and I do see some blow by, but from what I can tell, it is fairly normal as some of the other posters have commented.

I was really enjoying the other half of this discussion.

That was interesting, but it had been a while since I'd visited the thread and I lost where you had come to a conclusion. They do breathe a bit and add in some dust and it makes a mess if you don't clean it off. Some of the farm tractors around here haven't seen a pressure wash in years and they run around with a big scab hanging around the breather.
