The old Series 4 turbo was pretty cracked up. I decided to ditch it and go for the Series 5. More on that later.
Just a quick glance at the nasty-ness we found in this 5k old engine. Some Junk We Found
Cracked and VERY worn rotor housing.
Busted coolant seal. This explains the coolant I had in my oil, but how did the gas get there...?
Port job done with a chisel! Oh, Did I mention this is the Primary Plate! Not sure what the hell this is supposed to do...
Trashed Rotor. (Makes a nice paper weight at work though)The sad thing is, this motor supposedly had 5K on a rebuild. The engine had oil and grease caked on it. There were multiple stripped bolts, electrical tape on the Turbo inlet duct, and JB Weld EVERYWHERE! Before it blew, the engine was compression tested at about 65-70 psi.
