<VV> Re. Re: Here we go again (Total Seal)

[Duane, Jim (US SSA)]

I was only pulling your leg. Sorry... 
	I intend to run another (good) turbo to test the hypothesis.
I've been working on engines WAY too long to rule anything out.

   NO,  I  am  not  offering  a  turbo for your insane hot idle test.
I'm
   pointing  out  that after you burn up yours that I have spare parts
to
   sell  you mad scientists.  Between vacuum pulses and other
hypotheses,
   you  are wasting  your precious vair time. Most turbos on the road
are
   worn  out  and  hence  the  problem  of  leaking turbos. Even if
Craig
   rebuilt  his  turbo  as  he said, there is no reason for oil be in
his
   induction  unless  he  has an oil leak - that should be repaired.
The
   engine oil  pressure at idle, maybe 8 lbs., exceeds the "boost" of
the
   idling  turbo.  At full boost, the engine oil pressure, maybe 30
lbs.,
   exceeds  the  boost  of  the  spun up turbo, maybe 9 lbs.  If the
leak
   existed at idle it would exist on boost.

     Is this complaint just from turbo owners? Is Crawford offering
Craig
   and me his
   turbo  to run the hot idle test? Come to think of it, we have a
member
   in our local with a spare
   turbo...AHA!  A  lot  safer to try another turbo than to run mine
dry!
