    *7M Crank RPM Limit*

    CT26 62-1 Noisy when warming up

    There isn't a conventional seal as such Det, it's a combination of a piston ring seal and a labyrinth seal so nothing to soften up. Most times if a Turbo is noisy it's out of balance as Jeff has indicated.

    bhg reassembly woes...

    A spray bottle of water works as well and is a little safer. You're listening for any change in RPM as you spray around the manifold. (used to do this with aerostart but NOT safe in any way shape or form)

    Bit of a clue for ANYONE asking questions..... None of us here are paid to do this we do it from a desire to help out and share knowledge. A simple "thanks" goes a long way and if you get good helpful info in a timely manner you could even go so far as giving Rep. None of this is mandatory...
