And, for anyone with the Perkins M30, the exhaust elbow is not custom made. It is a Perkins part and can be purchased from www.foleyengines.com<http://www.foleyengines.com/> and perhaps www.tadiesels.com<http://www.tadiesels.com/>. This is a cast iron item and seems sturdy enough. Our engine is 12 years old with nearly 1,000 hrs. I recently had reason to check the elbow, and while there is some carbon, it seems quite clear.
Running the engine for very short periods, or long periods at low rpm will cause carbon to build up faster than if run at high rpm. Perhaps fuels with higher sulpher content or lower cetane ratings will produce more carbon. I have been adding a cetane booster to my fuel on the advice of an engine mechanic. If fuels in your area are below 40-45 cetane, perhaps you should consider using a cetane booster. They can be bought at any auto supply store or truck stop.

GFO is a goretex based packing material. It is readily
available at any local industrial supply for a few
dollars. 1/4" size is recommeded.

I ought to add that due to the self lubricating nature
of its composition, it can be tightened to a drip free
state and the packing gland will remain cool without
wear on the shaft.
Only the need to pull the speed transducer to prevent
algae growth on the paddle wheel and occasional
over-filling of the water tanks prevent dust bunnies
from collecting in the bilge.

I did it two years ago and put the chain gypsy conversion on at the same
time.
Mine did look dry too but had oil in it.
I guess for the 10 times that it gets used a season it could probably go
a few more years without changing the oil again.
