Removal Procedure
Notice: If a turbocharger has
failed, clean any turbocharger debris or excessive oil from the charge air cooler
system before installing the new turbocharger. Failure to clean debris from the charge
air cooler system will cause severe turbocharger and engine damage upon startup. Failure
to clean excessive oil from the charge air cooler system may cause an engine runaway
condition on startup, resulting in severe engine damage.
Important: If a turbocharger failure is thought to be caused due to lack of oil, the camshaft bearing should be checked. The number 4 camshaft bearing bore feeds the turbocharger oil supply (feed) pipe. If this camshaft bearing
spins in the bore, the turbocharger will be starved for oil. This will cause a failure of the turbocharger. Failure to diagnosis this condition will result in repeat turbocharger failures.

44.1. | Visually inspect for correct alignment of the number 4 camshaft bearing oil hole through the turbocharger oil supply hole in the block. |
44.2. | Turn the engine over by hand 1/2 turn and inspect for camshaft bearing movement, indicating a spun camshaft bearing. |
44.3. | If the bearing is spun the engine MUST be replaced. |
- If replacing the turbocharger, remove the oil return pipe bolts, pipe and gasket.
Discard the gasket.
- Clean all turbocharger to engine gasket mating surfaces.
- If required, clean and inspect the turbocharger. Refer to
