Scooter Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Can anyone advise on what should happen if in the picture I put in some fresh oil down the return lines to bath the turbo bearings in for storage? I think the two small pipes are the feed and the large ones the returns that link to the sump. Can someone confirm that the whole assembly shouldn't leak oil from anywhere else? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 Well I've just had an enlightening hour reading about turbo bearings and seals and now know it is a bad idea to fill the turbo chambers with oil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrispot Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Thanks scooter as you say an interesting read. I like to learn something new each day, the problem I get is to remember it 6 months later. Regards chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted March 27, 2015 Author Share Posted March 27, 2015 I know that feeling! I'm normally pretty good at researching a job I'm planning on doing, I didn't on this occasion though just chucked some oil in and was surprised when it started leaking out of compressor housing!
