I think it's probably the side seal or spring that got
taken out by a piece of turbine wheel. Too much of a coincidence
otherwise,
The turbine wheel is downstream of the exhaust port, so there
shouldn't be any pieces coming back toward the rotor. If your compressor
wheel lost some mass, that would do it. However, I doubt it
would get to the side seal, since the gap between the rotor and
housing is small . If you had a significant impact to the rotor,
you should be able to see a dent on the face of the rotor through the
exhaust port.
but I bought
the PB Blaster spray stuff recommended by Tracy just in
case. Anyone have any tips for getting apex seals to pop?
I have never done it, but I'm sure
some folks here have. My approach would be to blast it with the
solvent, and let it soak, then try to exercise it with a nice blunt
screwdriver. I would expect to have to repeat this process a few times
over a couple days before I'd give up. PB Blaster is great stuff, but
isn't the old tried and true solution automatic transmission
fluid? This sounds like a great Lynn
or Leon question.
I plan to. 3MM ones. And the teflon
seals.
Do you have 3mm apex seals now? If not, I'm sure you
realize you're in for some machine work. I can't say I really hear anyone
recommending 3mm seals these days. Might want to ask around about
that before
proceeding.
Good luck,
Rusty
