Default Bolts loose and 1 missing on turbo/housing ! ?

Basically last week i heard something rattling from my engine ( as if something was loose ) anyways as it was dark and could not see that well it turned out to me that the the turbo damper was loose , because when i put my hand on top it stopped the noise

Soo the next day and up until now it never mde that noise again and never thought nothing else of it

So last night , went under for a look to check oil and water and all that and noticed that one of my bolts were missing where the housing bolts on to the turbo ( 4,17 mm bolts ) should these be threaded or a bolt and a nut ? and 2 were loose , so tightened up and still need another bolt and nut to get it back the way it was Not a big deal really but why would these come loose guys ? and would i be losing power from this ? and would it do any damage at all troops ?

Had to get that off my chest lol its the first problem in a while lol but defo not the last ehh

If you're talking about what i think you are, this happened to me a while back, it had just stripped 2 of the bolts. Still available from Ford, they are about 1/4 threaded, then just straight rod for another 1/4 of it, then the other half is threaded again IIRC.

if theres a air leak caused by it ( and prob will have) then YES you would loose power aswell as boost


could explain the 20psi you got, when its all done then check the boost again to be sure

In the end you will snap the studs in the head and be in a whole world of shit...

Make sure all parts are to correct torque settings and the damper is adjusted correctly..

How many mounts do you have on the zorst system?

The more the better..

The reason i ask is because if you dont have enough mounts the Zorst will rock on the engine causing the problem you have.

YB head? or CVH?

If its a YB head and the cam cap retaining threads are threaded then replace with CVH rocker arm studs and countersink the cap.

If its a CVH head what part is threaded as there is many good fixes for these..
