So - the turbo o rings were leaking - go to the international dealer, get the two orings and the gasket for the exhaust inlet to the turbo.
Pray for patience, and begin the removal - if I ever meet the dude that did the packaging on this thing I'm going to beat him with in inches of his life. Those two rear 10mm bolts are a frustrating ordeal, especially on installation when you have to be carefull not to move the new orings out of their seats - I used shims pushed between the bolts and holes on the top to keep the bolts up out of the way while I slid the turbo into place.
I decided since the truck has nearly 150k on it and the fuel pump looked original - it was a good time to change the pump. Favorite local parts store got me one for about $140 and it's a made in the usa Carter just like the one I took out.
It's leaking engine oil into the valley.... only think I can think of is that I must have nicked the oring on it's way in.
I noticed the oring on the one I took out seemed to be wider and more square than the one I put in - I just figured it was worn....
is there something special about the oring on the fuel pump? am I mising something?
i'm NOT looking forward to pulling that pump back out - this time I won't have the turbo out of the way to make it easier!
