tighten the tube to the turbo first install and loosely gotighten the tube to the block let it find its own center then tighten it! I also suggest using an extra oring above the captured oring and filling the top with scone BUT you needto let the silicone SET Do it on a day when the engine does not have to run! The idea here is you want everything to find it’s natural position! -

Is it steady or is it puffing!? I have also seen valve guides do this However you said this came on all of a sudden so kind of rules that out! -

Agree with this ! Try this first also! tighten the tube to the turbo first install and loosely tighten the tube to the block let it find its own center then tighten it! I also suggest using an extra oring above the captured oring and filling the top with scone BUT you need to let the silicone SET Do it on a day when the engine does not have to run! If it fails again the you may want to try a turbo! -

Yup! -
Yup fifteen candles to ya bro!

Yup we’re an evil bunch Kevin!
-
Did you achieve any free pedal an inch or so will keep you going!it’s the notch type correct?
-
Well just be happy he picked a fight with us polite neighbors to the north Joey and not Rocket Boy! At least he has a chance of not starting a World war this way! We are All just pawns in a game! Fear not he has an underlying agenda we are all not privy to yet! And it isn't fentanyl ! Quite honestly if All these politicians would leave this subject alone it would sort it self out! What other business other than this sells shit to instantly kill off its customer base! I guess there are a few others but not as aggressive as this stuff!
-
So I guess big Ben will be on the back burner Then! DAMIT! 😡
-
You are seeing correct there is no tube there is a bushing on the inside of the bearing!
-
This is an absolute! last resort! You can also take the adjuster out and leave the brakes applied and quickly dump the clutch in and out ! If it doesn’t move with this method you will be doing a clutch! You don’t want to be doing this inside the shop! I have managed to get them to move with this method but it’s a bit vicious!
-
it was hard to see!
-
You Paying the air fare to and fro? Im on the next flight buddy ! always wanted to see big ben!
-
I like to take one tool down there to get the job done! hate getting up and down! getting old!
-
I have a 18 inch bit for my air hammer it is the ultimate adjustment tool ! I also have a kenttool tire bar that works well as my second choice I have no patents for using that tool there joey We had one at the shop and it was rarely used! there were always complications finding it and useing it you only have one leverage point with it and a lot of time you need extra leverage to git the ring to move ! 😡
-
You need a second person to do it right but a stick from the clutch pedal to the seat to hold it down will work!
-
Very True Joe ! Excellent observation ! check to see if the bearing reaches the brake if so leave it and proceed with the ring adjustment! If it doesn't! tweak the outside lever to ensure engagement of the brake then the ring! As the internal adjustment does not effect the brake much! and you can always readjust accordingly after you get free pedal ! I notice that this may have the notch style adjustment you will have to move the ring At min Three notches to get to free pedal and likly and extra 2-3 to get proper free pedal!
-
Yup I could see that coming a mile away! I just shook my head when I saw they were going to that set up! Another dumbass move! And what did we save here? Yet another non improvement!
-
Yup you don't want to go over board thats for sure ! You can only tweak so much before disaster is in the cards!
-
There is no free pedal there you need to wind on the inner ring till you get an 1/8 at the fork! if it aint seized!
-
Yup Mark that was another mistake! What they were thinking We will never know ! Why you would change from a 7/16 bolt the served you well over 30 years And change to an almost 3/8 bolt on the rockers is beyond me! And this was even before these Volvo turds got involved! They do equally stupid shit ! Wimpy bolts to hold the injectors , in wimpy bolts to hold the intake manifolds on, orings where gasket's should be an so on! BUT Who are we to say, were just low life bolt turners ! They did finally get it right with the power leash though !
