Del T Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Did you repair it or buy another? I put the standard one back on temporary. I changed the engine for a stronger motor and as it was a new crate engine it came with a new turbo attatched. I still have a couple of my old turbos about somewhere.

Del T Posted March 12, 2017 Report Share Posted March 12, 2017 Lol. Ditchman will have them repaired and up and running in no time. He could strap them to one of his mowers and have 400bhp on tap. Haha. Keep up the good work Ditchman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ditchman Posted May 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 the shaft is then slid into the bearing / bush......it dosnt go all of the way in...as it now has to be gently moved about so the piston ring closes and slides into its seat................. the cassett is then turned over and the other bush is dropped in ....then the oil gallery plate is positioned with the secondary bush /oiler spacer...and at the top of the bush is another piston ring /seal.............
