Notes on the installation of an exhaust turbocharger
Before installation:
- Prior to the installation of an exhaust turbocharger, fill engine oil in the oil inlet in the exhaust turbocharger. At the same time, rotate the shaft on the exhaust turbocharger.
- Check the oil supply to the turbocharger and the oil return from the turbocharger for foreign bodies and oil sludging, clean if necessary.
- Ensure that no dirt and no foreign bodies enter the openings.
- Clean the charging air system.NOTE: Do not leave any oil residue or foreign bodies in the charging air duct.
- Replace gaskets, and ensure that the gaskets are installed correctly.
- Observe tightening torques.
After installation:
- Start up engine and run it at idle speed for at least one minute to ensure that the exhaust turbocharger is receiving a proper oil supply. When the engine is cold and the ambient temperature is low, let the engine idle for approximately 2 minutes.
- Check 'tightness', i.e. seal integrity, of the engine oil pipes.
- Shut down the engine and check the oil level.
