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.

Ginge !

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?

rabmc

Well the one that i took out was threaded all the way mate Is it ok to use a normal bolt " off a mate " lol do get this tightened back up

rabmc

Not sure matey its 3.5 inch mongoose to 4 inch tail

How many should there be and iL have a look

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.

Ginge !

rab have a look where the midle box was removed, its still needs to hae the 2 mounts on that section to hold it up , some places dont do this though


JANO !!!!

i need some helicoils for a head thats got a few threads stripped as where on the same subject

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..

rabmc

Top stuff as usual boys , cheers

Ginge !

jano its the zorst studs on a yb head, its got 3 stud where the threads are fooked


top hint about the cam caps though
