What's the problem with going to the hardware store to find the copper washer you need?. Gm doesn't have "special" washers

 

[SIKDMAX]

My orings and coppers are gone, must h ave gotten thrown away when the injectors were with Guy.

Im trying to eliminate a bunch of parts bags and things l aying around in my garage so trying to put as much as I can on now out of the truck. Is that not the way to do it?

 

[SIKDMAX]

The Gm washers are not flat,They fit tighter around the tip and they have a step on them not the same all the way across.

Found a pic of one.Found better pic.

The newer ones now have little titts on the inside lip.

 

[SIKDMAX]

You dont have any by chance do you henry?

So it appears my HTT is a 71mm not 66?

The model number on the tag is HTSS71. Ideas?


Also... Im at the step where I mount the turbo to pedestal and it shows in the pic and says a metal gasket there - wheres that come from? It doesnt look like one came in the kit. Do I Have to buy one? Wouldnt I have my old one, and is it reusable?

The gasket between the turbo and the pedestal should be a T3 gasket. Those aren't used with a stock turbo so you should have one from that, but I would think it should be somewhere with the kit. Should look something like this:

Jus tlooked at the included list of parts and no.. only gaskets are oil drain and uppipe upper and lower

Next thing lol. Putting on manifolds and I didnt take them off so I dont know which bolts go where, I just have the hardware from guy. Does anyone have any up close pics of manifolds on or a diagram showing what bolts go where? Thanks.

 

[SIKDMAX]

This pic:

looks like studs in each upper corner than bolts in the rest.

Sorry Im using this thread almost like a scratchpad as I move between house, shop work etc and find things.

 

[JoshH]

I'm going off of memory here, but I think the studs go in the upper outer ends of the manifold and on the longer bolt(s), it's pretty obvious where they go.

 

[SIKDMAX]

Thanks Josh.

Need to get a BD Manifold for the other side... forgot :baby:

If you need a passenger's side up pipe to delete the EGR, I have one that will be for sale.

T3 gaskets can be bought from Dodge for less than 5 bucks
I reuse them unless damaged

Hey matt change your sig

Correct
2 washers per bolt/stud

 

[SIKDMAX]

So just from a dodge dealer I ask for a T3 gasket? Where could I find a part number?

 

[WolfLMM]

Just tell them you need a turbo to manifold gasket for a 2002 dodge cummins.
