Hello all, I am posting a question I asked on another forum to see if you guys have any ideas. I can give more information if needed. Thanks in advance for any help.
So, I know Jailer has the same engine as I do, but would like to see if anyone else has it. Mine is a 2007 F250TXR and the last three trips out for tuna I have been getting blowback, or so the mechanics think. Bottom line is I have oil in the bottom of the cowling and some will drip out on my offshore bracket once the engine is trimmed up for travel, I would guess a ounce or two, not much and I have had it checked out by two mechanics. I was told that if you run this engine hard, you will get the blowback. Has anyone else seen this? The only thing I have changed is upgrading my prop to a Powertech OFS4 which seems to have increased my RPMs, but actually has improved my MPG, which makes no sense to me, but it runs great. With the smooth water we have had, maybe I am running it harder than usual, who knows. Thanks.
