VIEW    READ ONLY    PRINT   SAVE   A    A  Turbos are tough posted by  KlausC on  Thu Jun 25 17:17 CST 2009 Author: [PROFILE] [EVERY POST] [THREADS] [BEST POSTS]     [IGNORE ALL POSTS] last visit: Sat Nov 21 15:09 CST 2009 [RELATED] There is nothing wrong with the HPTs, they last well over 250K. Unless someone screws around with the blow off valve to get more boost. The electronics are the same as any other 850. Who knows, you might have a blown valve or two. If the plugs are iridium multi point instead of copper, check the points on the plugs, the iridium cannot stand the high heat and break off. Regardless, a good head rebuild will solve those problems. Around $850-1200 depending on where in the USA you are at. Don't worry a lot about the oil leaks. Gasoline dilluted oil will seap through everything. They go away as soon as you change the oil and heat up the block. While the head is out, change the oil separator and it's tubes. Send the injectors off to be cleaned: http://www.cruzinperformance.com/ Klaus -- Common sense trumps a PhD Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
