Turbo Rebuild/ Gasket/O- Ring replacement and cleaning - W116Lorinser - 08-04-2010
the car was leaking oil slightly from the turbo area and from the drain tube gasket seal at the bottom.
i rebuild the turbo yesterday which was easy except for the PITA removal part and the damn 30 year old bolts.
after removal i completely degreased the entire mid and lower engine parts and cleaned of all oil and other contaminants. It took much of the entire day and i finally finished up at 12 at night including the reinstall of turbo.
And it was very worth it... NO MORE OIL LEAKS... and Alot less smoke... all bolts threadlocked and tightened to speck plus all new o-rings and gaskets installed and other miscellaneous parts from mercedes source.... finshing the diesel purge today and the car will be like new.
i can here the turbo now with the cold air intake and it is awesome

yea it was pretty awesome.. the whole time i felt like i would mess something up and the turbo would fall apart upon boost lol... but after taking it apart and reinstalling it twice, it came out 100%
