ouch.. a banks issue or a "im too lazy to fix it" issue?
both. the Banks idea of a turbo oil drainback is a joke at best. I'm really not in the mood to re-engineer it on a vehicle that sees winter use for the ski slopes. As long as it gets my daughter to the ski slopes and me into the lodge to flirt with the MILFs, it's doing it's job as far as I am concerned.;Sweet

hey i found a 83 diesel 6.9... lower compression for the first year right? good for a turbo?
the drop in compression is not enough to make a difference. problem with the first year motors was the block had a tendency to crack around the block heater hole and the headgaskets liked committing suicide at 150k.

the brackets will bolt up and the pullies will work if the correct accys are used. the alt, vac pump, and AC compressor are needed. only the PS pump and the water pump can be reused.
