Hi there,
I am looking for a Holset HX40 M turbo 3536621. If available pls quote the price. Regards
New in-stock 3536620 $1850.00 plus freight core due core charge $300.00 Thank you Diamond
Can a Holset HE 400 VG turbo leak when placed on end while removed for service work. (turbine shaft on a vertical plane)
I believe it can leak the oil from the bearing housing to either the compressor side or the turbine side when stood on either end. Should the turbo be replaced for oil leakage of this nature?
The best way to store the turbo while it is off the engine is horizontally with all openings covered.
Thanks
All turbochargers use piston rings to seal shafts this is not a positive seal so yes you can get oil past the ring if the turbo is on its side Thank you
