cruiseliner64 Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Hi all,some really bad news for our Cruiseliner.i took the metal object to a metal recycleing center who tested it to see what it actualy made of.they said its chrome steel.so now im thinking valve,valve seat or cylinder liner.only things i can think of made of that type of steel.im going to do a cylinder leak down test as im afraid to even turn the engine over let alone start it.we bore scoped the heads manifold and exhaust turbine houseing and cant see anything chiped, broken or missing.any of you out there that have any idea of where chrome steel could come from?id be very interested.

Paul bro it was running when you turned it off! Correct? Anyway only place i can think off is valve seat and or piston insert or ring ! Liners are cast ! the shape is confusing ! A melted piston would have been running bad! a broken ring is not that shape! Don't have any answers for ya! I would run it my self as Joey suggested ! The damage if any is already done!! some one along the line has accidently left something in the exhaust in my opinion ! a piece of old gasket or something! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74501-turbo-problems/page/2/#findComment-558068 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Mack Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 If that was a valve the engine would be running terribly.. i second the idea of a left behind peice of metal 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74501-turbo-problems/page/2/#findComment-558077 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it will smoke or slobber fuel from the bad hole! You will also know which head to pull if indeed you have an issue! just sayin 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74501-turbo-problems/page/2/#findComment-558078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geoff Weeks Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I'm in the group of people who say the worse is already done, so start it and run it long enough to make an assessment of its condition. May be something that was wedged somewhere that broke loose, or it may be more serious. At this point it can't make it a bigger problem. As you said it ran good. If it was clanking and banging before it stopped, I'd be more concerned. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74501-turbo-problems/page/2/#findComment-558103 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul It pays to not get too trigger happy!And not to over think stuff! Weigh out all the evidence and proceed with caution all of which you have done! Also very happy for you! Now all ya need is a turbo hopefully you’ll find the parts and all will be good! While you got it apart do a valve set and tiddle things up while waiting for the turbo! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74501-turbo-problems/page/2/#findComment-558125 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseliner64 Posted September 13 Author Share Posted September 13 Hi all,well new turbo is on the way as well as the parts to rebuild the shift tower and UJs on shift linkage.Is there a torque setting for manifold studs or is it just tight as you can get then? Same on turbo studs.?
