So it started out as a pm. Replace the heat blankets on the turbos as they were looking a little crispy. 9 years old,OK let's replace them. Take them off which is not an easy task I might add and discover the coupling between the turbo and the wet elbow is leaking. (Which we now figure is why the blankets looked crispy). So now the whole ass'y comes out turbos and all. Upon inspection we discover that one of the veins on the exhaust blower is missing. Things are really looking good now. Off both turbos go to the "facility" get them back this week. But being the prudent individual I am we need to find out if the turbo was damaged from the engine or did it just self destruct. The above took place over the last 3 weeks. I'm not worried though because the boating season on the Great Lakes is so long. (Sarcasm intended)
So I !just got off the phone with the yard, they spent the morning looking into the actual engine. Did a compression test
#1- 400#
#2- 420#
#3- 300#
#4- 300#
#5- 300#
#6- 395#
So we still don't know if the engine spit something through the exhaust, but we do know I have a serious problem on my hands.
Oh and just to add some salt, this engine has 325 hrs SMOH
There is no warranty since I was done 7 years ago.
I'm really hoping it's just the head. Someone tell me. Don't worry "it's just the head"
