Cracked exhaust manifold part 2
a continue of
old thread.
I have disassembled the 8.3 to the point of being now able to clean up the engine and start the re-assembly.
Parts were $923.00 and the labor was estimated to be $1400. so I decided to do the labor myself.
When I removed the turbo I found the bracket that holds the waste gate valve was broken, this now on order. this was holding the gate closed.
The normal turbo was not installed the one in place was a Holset 40 not the cummins OEM. (Banks intake kit)
The Manifold bolts that every one was worried about breaking when removed, all came out clean. I had soaked them every day with penetrating oil for well over a week.
It is ready to re-assemble this week. more to follow
