Nice cowmilker08! But does anyone where to get the compressor manifold gasket at? I can't find one anywhere!!!!!! And mines junk

 

Is one of these what your talking about?

Ford - 94-97 'OBS' 7.3L - O-Rings - Turbo & Related - Riffraff Diesel Performance

 

The big o-ring around the compressor side?

Not necessary if you dont want.
Just use a small bead of RTV around it if you ask me.

But thats my opinion.

 

The riff raff set don't have it unfortunately. But using rtv is what I had figured I was gonna have to do. The old gasket was half missing which means that it eent through the motor so rtv sounds better to me.

 

yeah, you order that separate.
I just put a bead of grey silicone on mine, the weaker stuff. it just needs to make an air tight seal.
To get it broke loose, juts use a heat gun.
Some people think you need to use them, *shrugs*

 

Well it's all back together and hasn't blown up yet but after a short drive one of the new up pipe gaskets seams to teak a little so when it cools down should I try and retighten it? Also they were smoking quite a bit but I believe that's normal.

 

IIRC, you gotta tighten them when they are hot.
But I don't remember.
