[QUOTE="CHOP SHOP, post: 1568827, member: 17493"] So I noticed that the exhaust side of the engine was leaking while I was under the hood yesterday revving it while cold/smokey. Smoke was puffing out of number one and two exhaust manifold gaskets and also out of the V-band clamp just after the turbo. So I removed the turbo and it seems to be in decent shape. But Im no turbo expert. The air filter (K&N) was disgusting, horrible, plugged badly. Not good. So I found that the exhaust manifold had shrunk a decent amount from 20 years of heat cycles. Enough to break off the top bolt on number one. The top bolt on number two also broke off when I gave it a twist. Fearing the worst, I was surprised when the rest all came out like normal. So I got a RemFlex gasket set for the manifold and turbo flange. [url]http://catalog.remflex.com/[/url] If you have never used them, your missing out. I have used them on High performance applications for years but was happy/surprised to find out they are making gaskets for diesel and turbo applications. So I checked with Larry-B today (local diesel parts pro [url]http://www.fostertruck.com/[/url]) and he said all the lift pumps have gone to ****. All the old good/reliable ones are now not consistent. He said he no longer carries any of them due to low quality. Last time he had OEM Carters, not now. So I called around and Napa has the best price on a lifetime lift pump. Tomorrow, get lift pump get new air filter change oil and filter change fuel filter get studs for exhaust manifold gauges, boost and pyro [/QUOTE]
