Turbo oil line help!
Hello everyone I just changed the evil air cleaner bracket on my old 80 sd for the second time and the oil turbo line has to be removed to get at it out a little easier. Well the gasket was no good so I had to put a used one on it from a parts car until I get a new one from Phil. Does this gasket require gasket seal or do you just put it on dry? The one I put on is leaking like crazy so I can't really drive her until I get the new one. Thanks for any help. She now has 311,000 miles. The wagon I bought last july just sits in the garage because I don't like to put miles on her.
Thanks, Dieselman |

I don't think there is any sealant involved.
Is that located in the bottom of the air cleaner housing?

I forgot to mention the engine is out of my crashed 300td. It is under the air cleaner on top of the turbo. I cleaned all of the old gasket off but it is leaking really bad. I don't know I will try a new gasket and see.
Thanks.. |

I had to replace my bracket also.
Did my homework first and realized (from this forum) I would need a new gasket. Installed dry - no leaks.

I don't think I am putting enough torque on the bolts either because it should not leak like that even if the gasket is old. It is a steady stream of oil. Could not live without my old 116. Does any one know if there is a specific amount of ft lbs on those two bolts.
Thanks |

I didn't use a torque wrench, I just tightened by feel to what I would guess was about 20-30 ft-lb.
I've never had any luck using old gaskets. IMO, you'd have better luck making a gasket out of new gasket material while you wait for the proper gasket. You might get lucky!

I will try that I have my Camry to drive while I wait so it is not to bad. I just wanted to drive my real car on the memorial day weekend. Thanks for the tips. I have a couple of pics from Germany of a high KM 210 Diesel. My friend in Germany sent them to me.
