i bought a LBZ with a broken crank. rebuilt the engine AND turbo, put it all back together, and the turbo vanes have never responded properly. sometimes gets stuck in a random position.
i only put new bushings in the turbo and cleaned all the vanes, did not disassemble the actuator assembly. when you fire the truck up, it goes into "hiss" mode after 2 seconds which i believe is normal, but still acting up while driving.
my question- i dont remember checking the #4 cam bearing for rotation... i dont want to remove the turbo to check it. i am thinking it would be easier to fab up an extra oil line from somewhere else and run it to the turbo oil inlet. if i give it plenty of oil and it still acts up, i'll order a turbo.
where would be the best location to get my oil from to send to the turbo?
