I don't think this 24v has ever been that high.

I had a vacuum line come off and blow lots of oil out with the vacuum pump, it lost pressure for half a second at idle twice in newburgh when I got there, before I put about 6-7 quarts in it - that's the only funny thing that's happened to it. had to be it?

boo hiss in any case.

What am I supposed to keep telling myself? that the one funny thing that happened a couple hundred miles before the problem was noticed is most likely what caused it? or that I don't rev it past 3k?

oh, you're talking valve springs. yeah, the stock 24v springs are better than the stock 12v springs.

my governor is springs too - and that's what is a 4k spring in my pump.

I'm thinking it might be a time bomb with a long timer, but who knows? this motor has had more blowby than I like from day 1 but I couldn't beat the price. :shrug:

supposedly had 130k on it when I put it in, that's unverified and unknown and uncertain. The bus it came from was wrecked and the ECM was damaged so I couldn't have had Cummins pull info  for me if I wanted to.

I've put 59,000 on it since.
