IH Up-Pipe Install - EBPV o-rings question
I am installing the IH bellowed up-pipes on my truck and managed to re-install the turbo pedestal before darkness overtook me.
As I was putting away my tools and reviewing my progress I noticed a pack of 2 o-rings that I did not come across during dis-assembly. This is from the 11-piece kit from Clay (thanks Clay!). The package says: Turbo Re-install EBPV o-rings EBPV Backplate & solinoid I am guessing that the solenoid is the one that is a part of my turbo pedestal? If not, where is it? Since I did not dis-assemble anything that requires these o-rings, can I just keep going with my re-assembly or should I find out where these o-rings go and change them out while I have things apart? As soon as daylight comes I want to finish this up so any help that you folks could give me would be greatly appreciated. TIA Chris |

Okay folks. It's been daylight here for about an hour and I still don't know what to do about those o-rings.
Help a fella out! :D Thanks |
By the size, it looks like the ones for "inside" the pedestal for the EBPV.

I will pull the pedestal back off and have a look inside. I figure that if I unscrew the piece that clips to the turbo I can then undo the snap ring on the other end and get the ... actuator? piston? ... out from that end. Once I get that far I should be able to see where the o-rings go. Thanks again! :-drink |
It looks like you have only the o-rings for the end plate and solenoid. I wouldn't remove the piston, as yet. You don't have the piston seal. Was it leaking from the rod area?

The almost always seep a little, unless you have a real leak I wouldn't touch it. |
I got the same o-ring kit for mine and mine wasn't leaking so I left it, if it leaks somewhere down the road, I'll have the selonoid kit ready, but I may gut it too, who knows. Did replace my pedestal rings though.

Thanks for the confirmations fellas.
After reading Roland's post I went and pulled my pedestal off and changed out those o-rings. There were actually 3 in the package. Once I pulled the temperature sensor out and saw those 2 o-rings I opened my package and found the 2 smaller ones had ended up looking like one seal. :D The other one was for the solenoid backing plate (the one that is held in place by a snap ring). I just got done wrestling with the back clamp on the turbo. What I ended up doing was tying a length of 5mm cord to the up-pipe, running it alongside the turbo, and my wife pulled on it once I had the turbo lined up with the y-flange. She held it together while I put the clamp in place and snugged it up. After a late breakfast I will go back out and finish the job. I think the hard part is done now and the rest should just be basic reassembly. Thanks a lot and I will rep all that I can for posting up. Cheers |
My second set of hands is usually a bungee cord. Great for
holding things together or holding things out of the way. http://i288.photobucket.com/albums/l...e/2cTurbo1.jpg |
Thanks to all for the help.
I just came back from a drive and, aside from finding no leaks, am really impressed by the way it sounds now that it is not leaking anymore. Doing it myself was a good experience and I am a lot more familiar with what is back there now. :D Glad I went with the IH bellowed up-pipes as I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis. :-drink |
