ok so i need the o ring or gromment that goes on the oil pick up tube for the turbo ...im not completely sure if thats what they call it ... i went to my local dealer and they pretty much told me they couldnt get it anylonger so if someone can point me in the right dirrections i would greatly appreicate it.

 

anyone have an idea of what i am talking bout ...? its the cast iron piece that slides into the intake and bolts up to the turbo .. im seriously loosing alot of oil

 

How about ATS since they are the company that designed the trubo system for Ford? May even be able to get it through an IH dealer.

Is is a special o-ring (squared) or just a standard type? You may be able to match it up at a parts store. Even Caterpillar has a great selection of o-rings. You might try them.

It is more like a grommet.
Same thing the CDR slides into on a NA engine, but the bottom of the turbo pedistal is smaller than the CDR tube, so they are not interchangable.

ATS would probably be your best bet.
International never used a turbo IDI in anything.

They say the gallery is fixed, so let's see if this picture comes up.



The grommet is circled at the top of the picture.

Nope use the link.

i thought that was it ... maybe it was me and i acidently lost it i suppose when i took the thing out and the only thing i saw was an oring so i thought tha was it aparently not thing is leaking big time... would there be any way to alter that gromet from a non turbo to work for my application?

 

If you can get all the oil off and to do a decent job I am also going to say pull the turbo, you could probably do it with silicone.

I would hate to do it in the valley pan, if the silicone drops out into the valley it is probably going to block oil drain passages or the oil pump pick up screen.

You would definitely want the silicone to be set up before you ran the engine.

Thinking about it, if I were going to do that I would pull the turbo pedistal, clean the grommet up with brake clean and make the grommet a solid one with silicone.
Then after it is set up, drill out the right size hole for the pedistal drain and put it back together.

Roofers use a two part liquid rubber, Water Stop is the name I believe that would be even better.
It would be almost exactly like the grommet material after it got hard.
But that stuff is rather high dollar stuff.

I have a can that I can get the name off of tomorrow.
I used it to seal water out the cracks between precast concrete slabs on a bridge I built.

 

ATS has pretty much abandoned support for the older systems. But there's a Guy that can still get parts from them, when We can't. I dunno if He bought the rights to the system, or what.

ok just to update.. i went to the salvage yard pulled the gromment frome a non turbo to experiment... and well i cut it down ... then i took a dremil tool n cut a bit into the rubber slide the thing on to the oil drain tube made sure if fit well .... took it apart added silicone... n a o clamp and put everything let it sit and till now its been holding up .. actually fit way way better then the orginal gromet ... n if it fails ill see i can get a new gromment from the non turbo n do the same again..
