| Turbo rebuild |
|
|
With the incease in instances of the manifolds cracking, it makes more financial sense to just replace the manifold instead of the whole turbo.
Undo the 'v' bracket which holds the turbo unit to the manifold.
Note (and mark if you like) the position of the turbo relative to the manifold. There is a convenient casting mark which points to the centre of the oil feed hole.
Carefully get a thin screwdriver, to just 'break the seal' between the turbo and the manifold.
Carefully tap with a hammer the end of the compressor mounting face away from the manifold.
The turbo unit should now come away from the manifold.
Take the opportunity to check the blades for signs of pitting; the turbine wheel should be okay, but pay close attention to the compressor wheel.
Line up the marks again on the new manifold, push the turbo into place.
Reattach the 'v' bracket, and clamp closed.
Finally, Reattach the compressor housing, tighten until the flange on the turbo is flush with the lip on the compressor housing.
And you are ready for refit. |
