Turbine shaft seal (bigger one) , and compressor side seal (standard butt joint "piston ring" type) I'll be using the updated compressor seal in replacement of this one pictured during the rebuild.
Image
Journal bearings... they are held in by snap rings.
Image

270-degree bronze Thrust bearing (funny looking gold thing) , turbine housing bolts , backing plate bolts , brackets , locking brackets , exhaust studs(black) , snap rings , and that's pretty close to it .... I think haha.

Get to work.

Doing a "little" work.. ( lol just a little ).

Decided to start drilling out the broken bolt.
The other broken bolt I shall slip a nut over the top .. weld it onto the existing snapped bolt protruding surface and wrench the effer out.

Left hand drill bits ( and right hand drill bits..)
Image

3/32nd LHD drill bit seemed to be doing a fair job.
Image

Explanation needed ? if drilling lots (or even a little) there should be lubricant involved :) .
Image

Filled cavity with rapid-tap and wen't to work.
Image

Image

a bit off center lol , but should be fine
Image

It's practically drilled through as this point , but no pictures.
Have to go pick up another bit or two since I was kinda stupidly tired + snapped the bit :shock: :lol:

That's all for nowz ...

Ah dang how many do you have broken ? haha :)

Yeah me too .. extraction does take forever :rofl: :thumbs:
It's like you could setup a 12-hour time lapsed camera video ... everything else would move but you , your drill ... and some broken bits ... :rofl:
draker wrote:Good work though! I only have 3 in my exhaust manifold but the metal seem pretty soft luckily.

Thanks draker :thumbs: .. are the 3 busted ? They do seem soft enough to work with indeed ! I didn't use a center punch on my last (3) ? and got fantastic results... well for me at least .. :lol: :lol:

Front and rear exhaust studs on L6's .. I'd bet nearly half of them are broken (or break coming out) and I bet people keep on rolling .. :rofl:

Yeah, I've got 3 broken but they are the lower ones that connect to the exhaust pipe.

Alright !
finally getting back to this.

Popping off the oil pan to clean it out , mostly making sure the block vent/mesh isn't crapped up ... don't want extra pressure on the turbocharger itself.

Oil pickup had a little bit of debris against the screen , but not much.
Rest looks pretty good considering turbo engine.
