no1parfive Posted June 3, 2023 Posted June 3, 2023 Referencing previous posts, I finally was able to remove my cylinder head, intake/exhaust manifold, and turbocharger as one unit. My problem with the removal was I had not disconnected the turbo coolant supply tube, which was well hidden under the turbocharger. Anyway, after the removal, I discovered that two of the four nuts used to secure the turbo to the manifold was missing, and the other two were loose, to the point that I could physically shake the turbo. After removing the turbo from the manifold, I discovered that the turbo gasket was missing about one third of the gasket material, which I assumed had been burned away, allowing exhaust gas to escape. I'm also assuming this was the cause of my original problem, which was a loud hissing noise coming from the back of my engine when started. I'm now trying to find a source to acquire a new turbocharger gasket. I previously ordered, and have received, a set of engine gaskets from RockAuto, but the turbo gasket was not included. So, I'm now searching for a turbo gasket. Any and all help would be appreciated in my search.
Hemi Dude Posted June 4, 2023 Posted June 4, 2023 My only suggestion as I have looked at many vendors : rick@rdiperformance.com He should have one if anyone does.
no1parfive Posted June 4, 2023 Author Posted June 4, 2023 Have fabricated my gasket using exhaust system gasket material purchased from autozone, it looks to be the same material as my damaged gasket, again, I appreciate the help.
