Diesel Mechanics -- On a Ford E350 Diesel is it possible for a situation to blow NEW grease seals/gaskets out?

I have a 2001 Ford E350 van. My "Service Engine Soon" buoyant came on as I be noticing some power loss and engine roughness. I pulled bad the freeway within 3 to 5 minutes to find the remaining grease pooling underneath. the entire underside and back side of the van be coated. After getting the repair which included:

Oil pan Gasket - E350 Super Duty, Gas, V10 F7UZ 6710 AA
Thermostat - E350 Super Duty Diesel
Main Bearing Oil Seal/Rear Engine Cover plate -E 350 Super Duty Diesel - Rear F4TZ 6701 A
Then, unsurprisingly Oil & Filter

After driving it home after the repair I noticed that at implicit 50 to 55 MPH there is somewhat subtle roughness that I'm not accustomed to. I also noticed that same subtle roughness the hours of daylight BEFORE these seals go out. Maybe I'm just paranoid but is within something I should know about in the past I go on a long trip tomorrow?

Driving next to the grease pressure glorious,...



Answers:    If your rings are worn, the exess blowby could hold blown out the rear biggest seal and cause other leaks. 2001-what's your mileage? Have you get an airfilter that works? Any induction leaks? What's your compression close to? Are you using oil?

WARNING: A worn diesel will run on sump fume blowby beside increased power until the sump is dry-wrecking the engine. There are 2 easy ways to stop a motor surrounded by this mode- 1 throw the decompressor, or 2 seal the heavens intake until it stops-do NOT use your hand! NO, I wouldn't drive it anywhere until I know much more about what's going on. And the mechanic is a fool for not suggesting these scenario, as they're well set to all competent diesel mechanics.

How do you adjust spring breaks on...


use another truck....
