Turbo problems???

[ALZ]

With engine being in bits Iam check other parts for reliability,I think Ive found Another problem waiting to happen I hope Iam wrong. My turbo has side to side movement so bad its polished its casing ie a silver band all round where the fins are on the intake side not the exhaust side.Hope this makes sense.

Yep makes sense. They will have a little side play which is normal. Touching the housing is not. New bearings/seals I would say.

Turbo Kit?

I have a 1992 2.4TD Landcruiser II (LJ70) and would like to know if there is a turbo kit available for this turbo.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Turbo Pictures

I have attached pictures of my turbo showing some of the oil on the external housing as explaine din my previous thread. I have checked the hose as recommended in a previous thread and this seems OK. Is there any other possible place it may be coming from?





Thanks

Ah, it all becomes clearer with a picture!
That's nothing much to worry about, it's just oil vapour from the crankcase breather pipe on top of the rocker cover. After a while, oil condenses and dribbles out of the rubber elbow that connects onto the turbo. Just remove the hoses, give them a wipe out, and re-fit.

Turbo

Bushwhacker, thanks for the advice. I will give the hoses a clean out.

This is a great site and find it a real help even though I have a Landcruiser (LJ70), which shares many components as the Surf. It is hard to find information relevent to the LJ70.

Thanks
