We have posted our truck on here and questions related to awhile ago. It seems as though we have a unique set up. Truck manufactured 3/88 however EVERYTHING that has been putchased so far has had to be for an 87. This motor has a factory Turbo on it.

This Turbo has obvious issues with the seals as it is pushing oil into the fuel system.

I do not hold enough knowledge and know how to remove this unit to replace seals. Does anyone know of a shop in the Washington DC (Tri State area) area that could remove this unit and rebuild it for us? I was recently told that an after market unit is not available either ... true?

Any assistance would be great !!

 

You might try calling one of the local airports, ask to speak to an A&P [aircraft mech.] one of them should have should have the number of a local shop that rebuilds turbos.

 

out of curiousity, how can you tell it's blowing oil into the intake?
is it smoking out the tailpipe?
it's common for the 2x series engines to suck oil into the intake through the PCV system.

for the turbo... other options-

My Sister In Law has given this truck to my son. The truck had an "oil leak" that a local chop told her it was the "rear seal". I found where the pipe that goes from the turbo to the intake had a hole punctured in it and someone tried to cover it with a piece of sheet metal and a hose clamp.

The truck doesnt really smoke and the times that we have had that truck running for a long period of time it doesnt smoke. I replaced that REALLY expensive hose that makes the 90d bend from the pipe to the intake I noticed a bit of oil in the tube.

Maybe that is normal and I am over reacting.

I have pulled the plugs and they appear to be normal.

 

back to the whole ... the oil seaps out of that hole (covered by the hose clamp) and out to the bottom.

 

hole .. not whole ... eyyye eyyye eyyye
