humm, i'm pretty sure that it might be compressor gasket or power steering pump gasket. blow by tube is on the other side of the engine on an e7 near oil filter???

I'm pretty sure its a 427 but there is a chance i have it confused for a 400. Is the 400 an e7 motor with the blow by on the other side of the motor too?

That is good news. Pretty glad to hear that we dont have to be nervous about moving forward with the purchase.

Thanks for your help.

Hi guys, newbie here.

I figured there's no better way to get into things on the forum then to start it off with a question. My family owns a construction company and we're in the market for a newer 10-wheel dump. We're looking pretty hard at a 03 granite that has a mack 427 in it. its a sharp unit that we feel pretty confident has been well cared for but a close inspection under the motor has me a little worried about something i saw:

Am i looking at engine blow by? This truck has about 100k on it.

Thanks for any help in advance.
