I am tearing down my engine to have it rebuilt and was surprised at how the front turbo looked. This is the first time I have attemoted to disassemble an engine, so am I just being paranoid or is it time to have the turbos rebuilt?

is that brown **** oil? if so no.
|
That looks funky...Pretty sure the blades should be just silver instead of brown.
|
The blades look to be in good condition. Color doesn't REALLY matter, unless it's buildup of somesort... Which I suppose could effect the balance and eventually destroy the bearings/shaft. If there is minimal wheel play (in and out should be none or VERY little) and they spin freely, I say they are good to go.

I believe it is oil.
To my knowledge these are the original turbos with 120,000 miles. With them having that many miles, would it be beneficial to have them rebuilt while I have them off? |

BTW if you saw this beast running and it looked like this https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/v2.gif when you weren't launching the brown stains are probably burnt on oil. |
yea you need to check the end play. looks mean nada. base is right the color is cool if they are in spec but at 120,000 i doubt it unless they were rebuilt
|
Yeah, I just hit 100,000 mlies and I need to repace my turbos so I wouold recomend getting them rebuilt. The seals are probably leaking and that means you will have oil in your intake and maybe buring oil out the exhuast.
|
Just to be safe I think I will have them rebuilt. Anybody have any recommendations on who to send them to to have them rebuilt?
