Steve Mutter Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I have an 09 f-350 with 54 km Harley,turbo noisey and oil coming out the tail pipe,the turbo has failed but why? so I called hotline and they told me that they have see a couple of these "Steve, We have seen this concern a few times. The most common cause is the banjo bolt for the oil feed line did not have enough holes drilled into it. There should be four holes (a drill bit from one direction makes to holes and turn the bolt 90 degrees another two holes)" has anyone run into this befor? and are there other things that can block oil flow to the trubos?

Keith Browning Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I guess the irony here is the fact that you have oil coming out the tail pipe. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/scratchhead.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, i heard about this last year from the international engineer at teh very first roundtable meeting. He was telling us about there being a truck that kept seizing HP turbos within 10miles. By stroke of luck after 3 turbos the engineer found that a hole wasnt drilled into the bottom of the banjo bolt so the turbo wasnt being fed any oil. Crazy huh. Tony H.

Keith Browning Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 I have replaced two high pressure turbos. The last one the oil feed line was coked badly as was the oil return. I think it got a new bolt but I don't remember looking at it. Now that you made that post I wish I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
