Pearson 365/367 Mechanic Shop / Blowing oil
August 13, 2022, 12:11:14 PM
Hi...I had the Perkins on my 1976 Pearson 365 rebuilt and am now in the Bahamas, after motoring 80% of the way from Tampa (uncooperative winds and seas!). The motor is throwing oil everywhere...coming out of the air intake and at head gasket, etc.  Really a problem, as ma going through lots of oil.  My thoughts are that I need to break out the engine manual and re-torque everything, but I do not know why I would be getting oil up through the air intake...but, I dis not notice a foam filter as I had on a other Perkins.  Any thoughts would be appreciated!
