I learned that excess heat can and will destroy a turbo, in this case it caused coking and may have been responsible for bearing and shaft damage.

Turbo Dis-assembly
Last week another student and myself got to disassemble a turbo. We were told it was brought in because it was not boosting as much as it should have been. The turbo is a Mitsubishi type TD08H-31M. It took a little patience, though it wasn't too difficult. We discovered some coking, and the shaft appeared to have experienced some high extra heat. We believe it may have been worked hard and then shut down without being allowed to cool down first.

ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your up to date blogs in the near future.
Thank you for all of your help over the last couple of days as we prepared the shop for the new overhead crane. I appreciated the help.
I see a 6.0 turbo disassembly in your future. Here's to the Ford fans.
