Anyone running a Banks exaust system? I am trying to find the difference (measurement) between stock headers and Banks headers at the outlet end of the headers. I am looking for more of a "block hugger" configuration compared to the stock headers. Anyone know of someone who would be able to measure the distance between the Banks headers at the outlet? I have a 6.0L Vortec I am putting in a Toyota Landcruiser and the stock truck headers end up on top of my frame rails. The techie at Banks was clueless.

- Oil Consumption
  
  By Chuck FB · Posted 26 minutes ago
  
  There are a few good takeaways in that video that pertain to this thread, certainly the possibility of the oil control rings having buildup, the fuel injectors and how clean or not that they are ending up affecting the pistons rings carbon buildup, and the fact that its normal up to a point for a given engine to use some oil, and that the oil quality that is being utilized is part of that ring clogging up issue as well. I was talking with a neighbor yesterday who has a baby LZ0 duramax and he had bought it slightly used but it does consume some oil and he has switched over to 5W-30 Euro spec oil and in this case that never made a difference in consumption over the factory 0W-20 recommendation. He finds it uses a quart in about 3500 miles and as he goes a ways over that distance he adds oil to full and goes another 1000 miles or so and then changes oil and is typically at 40% or so left on the oil monitor at that point with his use case of quite a lot of highway miles and more limited in short run use. I don't know what other LZ0 engines are doing for oil consumption but that is what his is doing.

  Ok well I guess Lake disagrees with me on a few points. I call oil consumption pretty basic. Rudimentary. He calls it "really complicated." I think 1qt consumed in 3k miles is a lot. He says that's normal. In 22 minutes, he'll use his natural talent to explain oil consumption to anyone watching this video. He covers everything from obvious engine damage to how normally functioning healthy engines consume oil by design. Lake explicitly states how you drive will impact oil consumption. Shut up and watch:

  Check for broken bolts holding the exhaust manifolds to the heads, common problem. Dorman makes a repair piece if you find you have broken 1s and don't want to do the surgery to replace them
- 6.6L or 6.7L ?

  My dealer says it's the 6.6 from the HD modified for the 1500's. So, my money's on the 6.7.
