Re: Replacing Turbo oil delivery line gaskets - Question... Posted by Jonathan Scupin [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Replacing Turbo oil delivery line gaskets - Question..., vsfoxe ![]() |
You won't need to drain the oil - it might dribble a little, but not significantly. The O-ring is for where the return line connects to the block - I actually couldn't get the pipe into the block with the O-Ring on there! I ended up putting a bead of high temperature silicone sealer around the lip of the pipe, and my car doesn't leak oil there.
You'll want to remove your distributor to get to the supply line, but it's pretty straightforward. The return line is a real b_tch to put back together and get to seal, in my experience. If I had it to do over again, I would have installed the oil return to the turbo before putting the turbo back in the car...
Good luck to you!
Jonathan
