Is a micro fiber cloth a good way to cover the oil line and turbo block openings while working and getting parts?
it seems to be leaking where the mounting nipple meets the turbo block. I think it’s leaking at the base of the nipple. I cleaned it up and will...
The whole turbo assembly was dismantled to repair a crack on the water jacketed exhaust manifold. The actual repair was quick and easy by a good...
