As of Friday the 25th of January I have about 200 hours.
the last couple weeks have been hectic. A management change in the turbo shop and we are still reorganizing stuff that has been left there for probably 4 year s or so. Then about a week ago an IHI turbo came in with a pretty ugly compressor wheel.
It would seem like a nut or something landed in the housing and ground against the vanes before finally going though the turbo and into what ever was beyond it. The inner cooler the intake and into the cylinders, we all know that metal had to go some where.
Nasty! Looks like some good experience you're getting there Ian.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of that turbo aside form the compressor housing is still in great shape, but finding individual IHI parts apparently is really really hard to do
